Question
my 3 yr old had abcess drained, antibiotic tx and still not eating taking acidopholis and syringe critter care. she is not drinking or eating. the teeth were filed yet may still be long according to web photos.  she seems to always be grinding yet attempts to bite food and can't break it off can only break off lettuce sometimes falls out of mouth Please help  

Answer
Hello Loretta,
I would rush your guinea pig back to the vet as the poor dear may be in pain still and just not feeling well. Keep feeding critter care until you can take her to a vet. This is the best thing and in my opinion the only thing that should be done. Good luck and keep me posted.
