preliminarily if it is considered possible to pay for her intervention via paypal.
I answer her.
Geppo is a Peruvian guinea pig,
the weights in December 21w ere around 1150 grams she ate alone and drank centrifuged peppers. perhaps he was also a little overweight.
in January, after the tooth was filed, it dropped to 1070 grams and then an abscess was created where the veterinarian intervened.
After a second filing and changed the antibiotic (exocin) we feed it with cryitcal care and pellets with syringes up to 200 per day. he also eats some hay by himself, such as field grass, parsley. but little compared to before.
now the weight varies from a minimum of 880 to a maximum of 950. just eaten 60 syringes of critical pellets and vegetable juices, it makes the feces and the weight drops to even more than the initial weight.
and as if not holding back the food.
the feces are formed and dark in color, have no particular odors.
now i tried milk thistle because the vet said it could be liver lipidosis, however it doesn't increase in mass.
as a social life he takes a few strolls but then basically stays in his bed
A warm greeting

re . info on weight losses of the guinea pig
good morning kind Mr Sing compliments for your link on you tube are fab.
www.toapayohvets.com
my name is Otello I am an accountant and with Barbara is a lawyer and we write from Italy from La Spezia (5 terre)
we have 3 (first 4) guinea pigs that we keep at home.
We have a problem that we cannot understand and I have seen that she has uploaded a range of videos to you tube.
I try to summarize the problem. Two months ago we took us to a good exotics vet in Pisa (70 km from our city) and he had found that his molars had grown and he was not eating. The vet milled the molars and the next day grew a ball on the left of the mandible. We called and the studio said it was normal. 2 days later she got very big and after another 2 days we went to the vet and he operated and emptied the abscess.
from then on we administered antibiotics and made dressings with betadyne and hydrogen peroxide. during this period it dropped but within 10% / 15%. the veterinarian then changed the antibiotic as it conformed to the antibiogram and the infection had already dropped a lot, no more pus.
from here on we feed it with quantities of critical care oxbow, pellets dissolved in water and we blend vegetables. the fact is that he continues to lose weight, indeed precisely he gains 40 grams after dozens and dozens of syringes of crital care and immediately plummets sometimes even in addition to the food we put in, such as weight shortly after defecating and urinating.
the quality of the stools are good, dark in color not soft, while at the beginning they were dehydrated and dry. but he always loses weight we are at about 24% of the weight which was 1150 grams.
we are very discouraged. we are feeding him all day and we do not sleep
I apologize if I took the liberty of writing to you because we love guinea pigs but we don't understand why it doesn't transform food into body mass.
Thank you if you can answer me, glad to have met you and to devote so much attention to these magical little animals.
A warm greeting
