Help! Domino's sick!! :(:(

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

He's doing better now...at least he's eating and moving around more, and there's not so much puss coming out of his eyes! I fed him mashed carrots, a LITTLE gatorade (which is not making any effect of him right now) as well as some apple. I keep forcing the fluids, as I know he must be dehydrated. But anyways, if he's not any better by tomorrow, I think we're going to get him to the vet. I feel so bad though...it's so hard to watch a little piggy like Dom be sick! I'll keep you all posted!

*edit* We called the vet and it's $45 just to see Dom. Gosh, I wish it wasn't so expensive, but we may get him there anyway...

[PJ's Mom]

Do they have an emergency number in case he gets worse tonight?

I'm glad he's doing a little better now.

[Suki Wingy]

Oh NO! I just saw this! I really hope he pulls through!

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

Dom's doing alright now...not eating much, but is at least more active. Um, this is a stupid question, but can you feed a guinea pig too much vitamin C?? Thanks for all your help and prayers everyone!!

[K9soul]

Oh no Katie! This is such frightening news! Please little Dom, please pull through this. We love you sweet boy, please stay strong. Katie, you and little Dom will be in my prayers. I hope with all my heart he keeps showing improvement.

Glad to hear he's doing better!

Vitamin-C is water-soluble, so any of the vitamin that he doesn't need will pass through his urine. So he can't get too much.

Ok, that's what I thought, but I just wanted to make sure!

Thanks K9Soul! With all these prayers, Dom's GOTTA pull through this...

He's got a great mommy taking care of him. He'll be fine.

Katie, I hope he gets better soon((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))) and kisses to Domino.

Vitamin C is water soulable, but overdosing can lead to serious problems, it does build up in the system however it is rare to reach dangerous levels, then again I don't know what level a guinea pig can take, I personally wouldn't give him any vitamin powder until I found out what is wrong.

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

Well, Dom's on the upswing, and I'm CONFIDENT you all's prayers are the remedy!!! He's more active this morning, and no more puss from his eyes! Keep them coming, he's doing TONS better!!
