Question
my guiena pig has mange mites,got a shot from the vet and now has diarreha and seems very sleepy

Answer
Hi Paul

what was the shot off the vet? Do you know the name of the medication?
If he has loose poops you will need to stop all wet foods and just feed his normal dry food and hay for 24 hours.
If the poo is still runny you will need to get him back to the vets as dehydration is likely and this is very serious.
