Question
my vet has said my guinea has liver problems and has given antibiotics, if no improvement  in 3 days we need to decide whether to put him to sleep, my daughter wants him to die naturly at home, will he be in any pain if she does this.

Answer
Hi annette

I can understand your daughter's desire for your pig to spend his final time at home. Unfortunately, I am not 100% sure if he will be in any pain. My understanding is that liver problems usually manifest themselves in other ways other than pain. Sorry I cant be sure.
