how is the poo actually looked like when gp is having diarhea..
my gps poo kinda soft.. like chocolate powder.. not as solid and greenish dark like normal poo.. is tat diarhea?? inform me..
*
Lots of member already giving advice for you on how to recongnise diarrea. I would like to add 1 more thing, that is feed hay. IS A MUST. Timothy hay. By feed that, you will maintain a stable digestive system of your GP. Quickly go to your near by pet shop and grap a bag of fresh green hay.

Yes u mention numerous brand. If you understand my situation also, im in sarawak, there's no BRANDED FOOD pellet for GP. The petshop only sell the BENGY, JOLLY, BUNNY and no brand pellet. TO order the brand pallet that all of you had mentioned, it took 20 days and above.


*
Because your local demand of GP pellet is very very low, and the petshop not welling to bring in some pellet just to make for GP.

Added on March 28, 2009, 5:37 pmTaking Jasper to Hand n Paws this morning because he was not feeling well (as he is not active as previous) but still drink and eat (but not much). After Dr.Jenny checked, she suspect that maybe be having bloat or so called foreign body obstruction. So she wrote me a letter to take a x-ray for him. After all the x-ray and checking, Dr.Jenny do give him an injection and also some antibiotic and etc......

I'm super worried now  sad.gif as Jasper seems very tired and dont feel to eat but just drink a bit only when we reach home.

I'm planning to get mix veg paste(baby food,which is recommend by Dr.Jenny when the gp dont eat) when the rainning stop

I'm still searching more information abt this is the web now and may Jasper get well soon.

Cheerup Jasper, You know you can do it.... smile.gif

Btw, Dr.Jenny also do a checkup for Jingle. She do a ultrasounds for Jingle coz she suspect Jingle was pregnant as she can feel the baby's bone in Jingle's dummy. It is a bit difficult for Dr.Jenny to scan coz Jingle has a lots of flur(even is short) and Dr.Jenny have to shave some of her flur. Finally, Dr.Jenny able find a the baby's heart beat in the ultrasound and seems only 1 heart beat. blush.gif

After taking the weight, Jingle was abt 820grams whereby Jasper is only 640grams(Both of them was having the same weight (620grams) in Jan09, and now seems Jasper is reducing weight due to his sickness)Dr.Jenny is a bit worried that the baby will be over size and it might have difficulties when Jingle giving birth. So i need to monitor Jingle's everyday.

Suddenly both of them also having problem....i'm really can't take the pressure cry.gif and feel to cry. But Dr.Jenny told me not to pressure and not to panic as they can feel it and it is not good for them.

So i'm need to convenience myself to stay cool and clam down. My hubby is on overseas business trip and i have to handle everything myself. I believe i can do it.

CHEERSSSSSS.....Carol

I heard alot of good report on Dr Jenny is very skillful of treating small animal, i believe your gp is in good hands. Did she told you why she got bloat? Did she also suggest you to feed then acidophilus/Probiotic(The active type).

QUOTE(carolhyf @ Mar 29 2009, 07:53 PM)
Thanks Chin, The reason that gp get bloated can be cause by ingested hair <hairball, since Jasper is Sheltie,the chances is higher to get hairball problem>, or food to lodge anywhere along the GastroIntestinal <not proper chew of food or accidently eating plastic beg or etc.>
Below are some of the information i got from website.
BLOAT
If your guinea pig appears swollen and the stomach appears distended (a light tap on the side sounds hollow), see a vet immediately. Your guinea pig may have an intestinal blockage (torsion) and/or a dangerous build-up of gas. This condition can be fatal if left untreated. An intestinal slowdown can cause ingested hair and food to lodge anywhere along the GI tract, creating a potential blockage. Also, because the cecum is not emptying quickly enough, harmful bacteria such as Clostridium species (related to the ones that cause botulism and tetanus) can proliferate, their numbers overwhelming those of the normal, beneficial bacteria and fungi in the cecum. Once this overgrowth occurs, gas emitted by the bacteria can cause extreme pain. Some Clostridium species also produce potentially deadly toxins. It is the liver's job to detoxify these poisons, at a high cost to that all-important organ. Damage to the liver can be a serious--even life-threatening--side effect of GastroIntestinal stasis.
Many times everything will pass through with no problem whatsoever, but it only needs a small piece to stick somewhere inside. For a long time it may not cause any problem for it can quickly bed down on one side of the intestine wall or more likely a kink in it. However, at sometime in the future a piece of food may not be chewed as well as it should have been and get lodged when it hits that bit of plastic and then the animal can soon be in deep trouble.

You must be in worry, we all also have pet, can understand the emotional pain you may go through. Jasper will get will soon! flex.gif

Dear Chin, Sugar and Emily,

Thank you for all your support. I really appreciate. smile.gif

Jasper is getting better this morning as i can see his pallet, hay and vegs is lesser. But his seems didnt drink his water because the water still at the same level of amount. I have actually put some water in his veg.bowl and change it often so that he will take in some water while he eating his veg.

Hope that will help him to get some water. His poo poo is more to normal but is not as the normal size (less smaller pcs) and his pee pee is still yellowish and even a bit brownish (maybe cause by the Laxapet because it is in gel form and it is brown like coffee).

I cant take half day today as these 2 days is closing. I will go back once 5.30pm and take him to see Dr.Jenny again later.
*
Great to hear Jasper is gettign better. Since you will visit Dr.Jenny, you can ask her weather she will descript some probiotic for you for you Jasper or is jasper needed this item, because Jasper just took antibiotic, it will kill a wide range of his digestive system's bacteria, with the help of this probiotic, it will increase and recover those bacteria faster. Those bacteria is their live partner, helping them to process food. smile.gif

This morning my pregnant Sheltie SOW gave birth to only one baby, none of us aware.  As this SOW is a first timer, she doesn't know what to do.  When we found out, the baby already dead in wet and cold condition.  The baby was huge in size, as big as a 1 month old baby GP.  Sigh..what a waste.....

Sorry to hear your lost. Hope the mom is ok. When involve in breeding animal, sometime this thing happen we can't control.

aiyo. You must faint when you see that! laugh.gif I can understand that kind of depressing feeling when you see a dead baby that is from your breeding herd, cause I am also a breeder of other type of specis.

I am glad the mom is in good shape and good hands.

guys, do pay full attention on your guinea pig's teeth. Feeding green and pellet is good practise, feeding Hay and provide right vitamin C supplement to your GP is even more important. Here is some article that is good for reading. READ HERE

Chin, do u cut their teeth?Or u just let them munch on the hay all the time? Is there any other way beside the other two ways?is the salt stick ok ar? those for chins one?
*
I dont cut my chins teeth(but sometime i need to intervent on some chin that have problem on teeth by FILE them). And i dont encourage you do so to your GP too, it need some skill, once it break you need to hand feed your GP every 4 hours every day for 3-4 months!(they will grow back)

Yes, hay play a big part of trimming teeth, that's why u need everyday replace new fresh hay, if can mix variety, they will love to have more variety. Yes, chew stick can be use as well. I believe you have also offer small amount of dark green to your GP every. Supplement Proper VIt C will be even better. smile.gif

All animal will eat leaf first, they will leave the stem aside. but sometime you also need to force the to eat stem by control of their pellet. You also need to remove all uneaten hay and replace new one everyday, they will dig in again on the leaf... smile.gif
