If the vet suggested giving them at different times, that's what I'd do.

Cuy mix makes sense. She looks like a large but not particularly overweight regular pig.

Like [MENTION=13918]foggycreekcavy[/MENTION], I think the symptoms might suggest osteodystrophy. She's not that old, but cuy live much shorter lives than regular guinea pigs, so it might be a possibility.

If it was osteodystrophy, the xray would have shown mottling and fusing of the bones. I had a guinea pig that had osteodystrophy and it was obvious when you looked at the xrays and later xrays clearly showed progression of the disease.
