hi all
this is infact for my guinea pig so hope you don't mind me posting here but i thought it would be helpful for rabbits too.
i am syringe feeding my guinea pig but she keeps getting gas. I am giving her science recovery but have ordered some critical care as i have heard this is better. I have started giving her 1 ml infacol after food and tummy rubs which does seem to help and you can hear the bubbles popping when i do the tummy rubs.
am i syringing wrong and causing the gas?
i do it into the side of the mouth and try not to do it too fast. I give her anyhting from 5 ml to 10ml..however much she'll have and plenty of water. I was told that 50ml a day is needed so i try and feed her 5 to 6 times a day.
the gas may also be a factor of her illness which we are not sure what it is!
any advice on the feeding would be great!
