Hello Donna,

They sound like they are both ill. If they are not eating they need to be force fed. Since the one is not pooing, she should see the vet soon and possibly be tube fed. When piggies don't eat, their tummies shut down. Once their tummies shut down if it's not reversed soon, they could die. The other sounds like the problem is digestive, possibly a bacterial infection. I would get her back to the vet soon. Since she is on antibiotics, she should also be on a probiotic like Acidophilus (found in the vitamin section of the drug store). Acidophilus replaces the good tummy bacteria the piggies need to digest their food and antibiotics kill off. This could cause the diarrhea. It's also possible she was given an unsafe antibiotic. I'm going to give you a link to a site listing them since you didn't mention the one she was given. If you find it on the list contact your vet IMMEDIATELY.

Answer
Hello Donna,

I'm so sorry about Pippin. That's never an easy decision to have to make especially so close to the holidays. I'm sure it was the right one though since she was in such awful pain. I'm glad Peggy is doing better. Try giving her some Romaine lettuce. She may eat it on her own since she is doing so well with the force feeding and it's good for helping to get a good amount of fiber in her. Hopefully she will make a full recovery soon. I'm going to send you a link to a site where you can make a memorial for your precious Pippin if you like. Good luck with little Peggy and Merry Christmas.
