Question
hi i broke my guinea pigs bottle and had to get a new one it was black friday so it took me about 6 or more hours to get it i also bought a shampoo. when i got home i gave my guinea pig new water it was 3:00 i also gave her a bath at around 7:30 i checked on her (ginea pig) and she drank nothing and  ate a couple of pellets i think she has a problem because after i put her in the cage (after bath) she pooped and around 7:30 there was no new poop and she poops alot i think shes dehydrated or something please reply im so scared  

Answer
Hello Jane!
Dont freak out yet. Freak out if she still hasnt pooed two days after the bath. Then take her to the vet ASAP.
She might not have been used to the bottle. Dont try to force her to drink.
I dont think a bath could have done this. I really dont know why she wouldnt drink with the information you gave me. Try a vet, they may have more insight.
