Last time when my female gp Ebi sick and very weak, i took opportunity to trim her tooth. This week i trim other 2 gp's tooth. I think this is very helpful bcoz lately i am very busy and dont have much time to go to vet's clinic to rim their tooth.
Ebi is very very choosy, if she dont like the hay i give to her, she wont eat anything. This is very dangerous man, last time, she dont eat anything until she is very weak, her back leg cannot move only drag, and front leg also very weak, her eyes like very sleepy want to close. My wife already crying seeing her.
Here I just want to remind myself and all guinea pig owners here especially the beginner that if you see your guinea pig back leg is dragged and cannot move most probably it is because the gp is very weak as a result of it dont eat anything after several hours.
If u see this, quickly take the gp outside the cage and hand feed it with fresh and soft vegetables and hay(because it is very weak cannot eat normally, cannot tear and hold the food, must cut the food into small pieces), until it regain energy (can move, can stand, eat normally, quickly, back leg can move) maybe after 30 to 45 minutes.
If dont do this maybe your gp will die from starving. The reason of why the gp dont eat is mysterious because other gp is normal. Maybe the gp is too choosy maybe it miss her owner (in my case maybe these 2 reasons).
Hope this will be helpful.
