It's crucial to consult a veterinarian for any concerns about your guinea pig's health. They can assess the situation, provide an accurate diagnosis, and recommend the appropriate course of action.
Giving a guinea pig too much of an antibiotic can have serious side effects, including:
* Gastrointestinal upset: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
* Liver damage: Antibiotics can be toxic to the liver
* Kidney damage: Antibiotics can also strain the kidneys
* Allergic reactions: Some guinea pigs are allergic to certain antibiotics
* Disruption of gut bacteria: Antibiotics can kill off beneficial bacteria in the gut, potentially leading to other health problems
If you suspect your guinea pig has received an overdose of antibiotics, contact your veterinarian immediately. They will be able to provide the best guidance and care for your furry friend.
