She has always been a bit poorly, though she is lively and friendly, and eats for England!
Periodically, her fur falls out symmetrically on both sides and over time, grows back again. Despite eating loads, she is very bony. And she has these very sore-looking, red feet. She also drinks loads and pees much more than my other guinea.
The vet thought she might have Cushing's Syndrome and that, really, there is not much that can be done to treat her. I did order some Perfect Paws ointment for her feet and apply it twice a day, but it doesn't seem to be doing much. She's 3 years old and a rescue.
Any suggestions?
