Question
hi im sorry to bother you but my gorgeous sow guineapig had an operation to remove two rather large cysts on her overies shes nearly 7 shes not really eating much and not dinking much.i dont know weather its because of her op that she seems to be on one side and cant walk properly do you think it could be a stoke shes on antibiotics and metacam for pain releif.please email as soon as poss. thankyou deb.

Answer
All i can suggest is get her to a vet quickly, preferably a differnt vet to the one that operated just to have her checked over, guinea pigs deterioriate quite quickly when they are not eating so the sooner the better really

sorry i cannot be more useful but without seeing the guinea pig i wokuldnt like to give you any suggestions.

best of luck hope she does alright
