[Gpdd] [Health] Phoebe Update

[Evelyn Baker]

Phoebe has been on antibiotics for a week now. Her appetite is back  
and she's even running around. It's nice to see her get excited and  
come running out of her house when I ask if she wants treats.  
However, her tummy is tender (bladder area), she squeaks when I press  
lightly there and she still squeaks a little when she urinates. Not  
as bad as before the antibiotics. She may be a little bloated from  
them. So yoghurt for her. But she is perky and always eating. Her  
urine isn't cloudy. I was thinking of putting her on shilintong  
anyway or eurologist.

Also her feet are still red. The Hibitaine really isn't working. Her  
feet aren't tender. I thought I might put Penectan cream for diaper  
rash (sores, scalds insect bites etc.) on them. It's got zinc oxide  
in it. Is this toxic to guinea pigs?

I'm also considering putting her on Meticam if the vet can do the  
blood test. She needs to have good kidney function and the test  
stressed her out last time. (They couldn't get blood).

I know she's old now but she's not suffering in anyway, except for  
going to the vet. And the older they get the better they get. Any  
suggestions?
