She's very cute.Happy birthday young lady!! Let me suggest that you check he 
Vit C intake, it's winter, here at least, and if her pellets get old and she 
doesn't get enough Vit C from them her recovery would be slow. Also make 
sure they are for guinea pigs, not bun,  and please dont think me thick, I 
just want to cover all bases. She should get as mush grass or timothy hay as 
she wants alee minimize any sweet fruits or veggies, no fruit juices. 
carrots are sweet so should be the size of 1 baby carrot a day. So dark 
leafy greens esp parsleys, and cilantro as they have little sugar in it an 
lots of Vit C. Thanks for getting the good probiotics and sharing that with 
us. She needs exercise daily and if she has never had a double course of 
Ivermectin to eliminate internal parasites in her gut. The 2 doses should be 
7 to 10 days apart. She looks to be of a good weight so she is able to eat 
her cecals OK, I hope that's correct. Avoid fruit and fruit juices, she can 
be checked for diabetes with over the counter dip sticks.  Diabetes is 
common in mature sows.  I hope this helps and I am very happy she's better
