We believed GP3 was improving, his 'output' looked better, though he was a bit quiet.
Last night I brought them in early (it was getting cold) DD noticed he had soft pooh again.
Back to hay/pellets/water then for supper.
He looked a bit meh , sunken eyes, just sitting there (not a good piggie sign)
This morning.....he had the runs. Big Time. All over his belly. And his eyes were sunken and crusty/weepy.
Before we went to work and school we changed the bedding, bathed his eyes.
TBH, I fully expected him to be gone when we got back.I phoned the Guinea vets and booked him in.
DD and I drove him there, he was floppy, eyes tiny and shut, drippy bottom.
(I did prepare DD that we might be coming home sans piggie)
I asked DD what she wanted, he's her piggie. The vet suggested antibiotics and fluid. He had an infusion (injected, he didn't enjoy that) and antibiotics injection.
He's home now, in a Hospital Cage with a fleece and snugglepad.
He's not out of the woods yet. He could still go To The Bridge.
But he's got his girlies nearby (but separate) and I'm just going to get some Critical Care into him.
