I made an appt at our vet at 1pm. Chico has not perked up. I did see him drink on his own this morning and eat hay, but it was just a few strands. He is standing/hunched all the time, and only lays down when I'm feeding him on my lap. I've also seen some bloody spots, and with the discovery of bladder stones, there is probably a UTI or something else happening. He also has a bit of nasal discharge on the left side, which I believe is the overgrown molar side. When isn't in a tunnel, he has made a nest in the hay. He has nibbled a few times since I've made the appt, but we're still going. He also has that dull look in his eyes like Gimbly did the day he had GDV. He does try to run away and is curious about his surroundings when he's on my lap for feeding.
I pretty much don't care what it costs to fix him...I just don't want him to die so soon after Gimbly. Plus I am not keen on having to babysit him while I'm at work, since my coworkers know nothing about pigs or are allergic. We do have a doctor who has gpigs, but idk if she works when I do.
I attached his rads, there were 2 views but only got 1 emailed to me so far. But you can see the stones. I'm curious about doing bloodwork, which he's had before at the original exotics vet in 2020.
His weight went down to 860grams, from 907 yesterday.
Apparently guinea pigs can get feeding tubes; idk if it can really be done as there isn't much online, but I'd be willing to do that. I also thought about hospitalizing him, but they don't do 24 hr hospitalization at the normal vet. I did contact the vet who saw him on Friday, but she's out today.
