Yesterday, I took my guinea pig to the vet. She lost a dramatic amount of weight in a few days. Now she only weighs 400 grams. The doctor said she either has a bladder infection or a repository one. Her teeth are fine and she is eating slowly. This morning I noticed my other guinea pig ripping hair off of her. They are both females and usually get along fine. We are treating the sick guinea pig with antibiotics, but she has several bald spots on her now. They are all over her side and head. Her once pink skin is now turning a milky white.
Is she actually sick or is the other guinea pig bullying her into not eating?
We have both the pigs separated. Their cage is 2x5 feet.
