I know if you've been following my Posts regularly, you'll know my Guinea Pigs are called Chloe and Joey. Well Chloe got sick this week.
I bought a separate cage for her as she was being blocked by Joey, when she went to get her food.
In less than a week she was skin and bones and very weak.
I'd taken her to my Vet, who gave her antibiotics, as she had a secondary infection with guinea pig diarrhea and I drove miles away to get her some food that I could give her by syringe.
I nursed her for three days on this wonderful guinea pig product, and she did seem to be getting better. She was walking for a little way, before she stopped knackered.
When I put her into her hutch last night I thought she was going to get through this as she was doing so well on this Timothy hay based food.
This morning I got all her food prepared to feed her by syringe again.....................and she'd died overnight. The secondary infection had got too much.
I will be getting a new Guinea Pig soon, so watch out in my next post or two....
Have fun with your Guinea Pigs....Sarah
RIP: Chloe
