Antibiotics are also hard on a guinea pigs tummy. I sympathize with you, as I have two ill pigs at the moment myself and one has been syringe fed every 4 hours for 2 1/2 weeks so far. The other is eating somewhat on his own and is supplemented with Critical Care a few times a day. If they won't eat on their own, they must be force fed. I know it's difficult, but it's just as difficult for them and they really need you.
Good luck with your girls, I hope they have a swift and complete recovery. Please do keep us updated.
