QuestionMy 6 year old sow is continuing to lose weight although she is eating
everything in sight! Her teeth are strong, she eats timothy & alfalfa. I feed
her fresh veggies & put vitamin drops in her water. Her stools are sometimes
loose but sometimes firm pellets. She consumes lots of water in the summer
but always has. I don't have accurate scales to weigh her but I can feel her
ribs. Her eyes are clear & she is perky. She sleeps a lot but gets up & purrs
for her treats. I've read about worms??? Any ideas? Our vets around here are
not very familiar with exotics.
AnswerYea i would even call an out of town vet to ask what you need to use to worm your guinea pigs that is available locally. I think she is fine, i just think she is getting older. Keep a sharp eye on her to see if anything drastic happens. Good Luck!
