R.I.P Gabby Guinea Pig - passed away 26.01.11

Missed this totally. In this situation there are three things you need to do:-

Keep him warm...snugglesafe in the cage, hot water bottle unde rone end or a heat pad.

Water - syringe in water with a little sugar mixed in will help him want to drink it.

Food - baby food, a food called EMF which goes creamy when mixed with water. Better yet Beaphar Malt paste, Nutri Cal or Nutri Stat that they can eat straight out the tube. Its a malt paste designed for furries that won't eat.

The Rat Warehouse - Beaphar Malt Paste

The Rat Warehouse - Nutri-Cal

You vet may be able to give you some of this?

I hope he's doing okay today and made it through the night? I'm not familiar with Septrin, is it an antibiotic?

As Ceretrea said he needs to be kept warm, if you dont have a snigglesafe you can put a hot water bottle against the side of the cage, make sure hes got a cooler side to go to if he wants to though. Food wise I find most rodents who need building up or encouraging to eat will go for the Beapher Malt paste (you can get it from P@H in the ferret section, and egg food (thats also in P@H but in the bird section), apart from that I would try anything strong smelling from the hamster treats list (there is a sticky with this list in the rodent section) banana is good but suddenly changing their food can bring about its own risks. My old girl (syrian) Buffy was hard to keep a good weight on when she got very old and she was a huge fan of the chicken and veg baby food and any of the puddings. Hope hes looking better today and is eating finally.

Thankyou soo much guys
He made it throught the night ,was tough tho nearly lost him ,looked like he was on his way out
i took him out his cage wrapped him in a blanket and syringe fed very small amounts of baby food ,
i think he was in the blanket in my arms for about 4 hours ,then he started moving around a bit more , i am still syringe feeding him at the moment and he is still very unwell ,but hopefully now he has a little food in him he might start coming round today ,well i hope so ,love the little guy to bits .
Septrin is a antibiotic i was supprised the vet used this one as we usually get baytrill for the little ones .

Awwww am so sorry hun but he does seem like he is pulling through...really hope so hun!!!!

Keep him nice and snug! It appears to be helping him somewhat! He may need syringe feeding for the next few days or so if he carries on, and slowly build his strength up to eating on his own
