Joy got fruit on November 27th 2018 as comfort food when her sister Jan passed away. Again on December 24th as it was her 6th birthday and again on December 25th as a special treat!I wouldn't feed any fruit at all until the poops are back to normal
When we stopped Zantac Syrup Joy went off food with in 24 hours and stopped pooping and had major wind problems. Swore unless directed would not take her off it again!
Jan Joy's sister had tummy problems with wind as well and was also on Zantac syrup as vets believe it is a genetic problem. Jan had X-ray on her tummy and it showed roughly tummy 25% and wind 75%. Vet said she would not make Christmas(less than 4 weeks). Jan lived for 2 years more.
As far as Joy goes with the banana it is day 2 and after a month of mushy poops her poops now have shape and some are normal texture. For now we will continue with the banana as it seems to be working. The big question is when to stop before she gets constipated.
Feeding guinea pigs with mushy poops bananas has always worked before on other pigs like Jessie, Petal and Zoe. We just kick ourselves we didn't think of it before!
Thanks for the reply Sef1268! As to Joy's diet she gets Timothy and Meadow or Oaten hay depending what we can get due to the drought. Oxbow adult pellets, spinach, baby spinach, silverbeet, oak lettuce and carrots and grass when we can get it. We are going to buy some more cat grass seeds and grow some more grass.
Off to vet in 4 hours will update again then. Thanking replies in advance!
