[Gpdd] [Health] Sparkles and soft poos

[Evelyn Baker]

I think as long is Sparkles is eating and drinking she's going to be  
okay. Often, guinea pigs have delicate digestive systems that need to  
recover after illness and medication. The fact that they are in  
pelleted form is a good sign. If you have Critical Care, you can  
sprinkle some on her food or make a paste from it to form a ball.  
Because she's willing to eat on her own and this is a wet food she  
might consider it a treat. My guinea pigs did and it's a good way to  
get her digestive system moving again. Is she getting hay? That will  
help.

I also gave my guinea pigs plain yoghurt (unsweetened) with live  
culture. A couple of ccs with a syringe. They like it it and it also  
helps to make their poos firmer although dairy isn't neccessarily  
good for them it does help.

Cutting down the lettuce a bit may help. Apple and carrot have pectin  
in them and can also help.
