Guinea pig diarrhoea details below. Help!!?
Hi, my guinea pig was feeling sick and refusing to eat after she had consumed some cottage cheese. Took her to the vet and he advised an antacid. She was a little better but then he started her off on an antibiotic that got her to lose her flora gut also. She has been getting hand fed over the last 4 days now . She eats very little by herself. I have been supplementing her with a probiotic. Yesterday morning she started going fully formed stools. However these are surrounded by the carrot/apple juice i feed her also.The juice looks undigested but there are fully formed stools inbetween. This has been going on for a while . She has been eating some food and a little hay. As we do not have any specialised vets/supplementary food for guinea pigs here, could someone help me out as to what i should do?
What probably happened is, your antibiotics killed the 'good' bacteria that all animals have to help us digest. Remember the main danger of diarreah in small animals is dehydration. I recommend going to your local pharmacy and getting a plasic syringe. File down the plastic end so there is a not sharp openeing about 1 cm in diameter, and begin giving your pet fluids this way.
No matter the cause of diarrhea in your guinea pig, you can provide some basic treatment immediately that will help him or her recover more quickly. Take a half-capsule of lactobacillus acidophilus (available at any pharmacy or health-food store), and dissolve the powder in 1 cc of water. Using an open syringe (a syringe without the needle), feed the resulting liquid to the guinea pig by inserting the end of the syringe into its mouth, behind the incisors and from the side. Be sure to feed the acidophilus slowly, so they don't accidentally choke on it and send the fluid into their lungs.
The lactobacillus acidophilus is a bacteria-growing culture that will accelerate the growth of the good, digestive bacteria in the guinea pig's stomach. Although many people suggest feeding yogurt for the same reasons, it is important to note that acidophilus is better, as less is needed for the same results.
Good luck.

A Flora of Cambridgeshire $52.39 This flora, published in 1964, was the first comprehensive account of Cambridgeshires plants since Babingtons of 1860. Based on records to the end of 1962, it details 1509 species. These comprise 27 pteridophytes, 3 gymnosperms, 1223 angiosperms and 256 bryophytes. The following information is provided for each of the species: scientific name; wellknown vernacular name, if any; first known record of the plant in the county; synonyms; habitat; notes on rare, difficult or interesting species; distribution by OS grid reference numbers. The introduction examines local topography, climate, the main geological areas and vegetation types, together with a history of botanical investigation in the county. Important localities are noted, highlighting key species that could then be found. Botanists, conservationists and naturalists will find this historic flora provides a valuable baseline for contemporary studies, including those focusing on biodiversity, extinction or the effects of climate change.

Kilimanjaro flora
Kilimanjaro flora
It is said that to climb up Kilimanjaro is to walk through four seasons in four days. It is true, of course, and nowhere is this phenomenon more apparent than in its flora. The variety of flora found on Kilimanjaro can be ascribed in part to the mountain’s tremendous height and in part to its proximity to both the equator and the Indian Ocean. Add to this the variations in climate, solar radiation and temperature from the top of the mountain to the bottom and you end up with the ideal conditions for highly differentiated and distinctive vegetation zones.
wpb060ac2e_0f.jpg In all, Kilimanjaro is said to have between four and six distinctive zones depending on whom you read. A brief description of each follows; more details, including a detailed picture chart of the more common species of flower, can be found in the guide.
Cultivated zone and forest (800m-2800m)
The forest zone, along with the cultivated zone that lies below it, together receive the most rainfall – about 2300mm per year – of any part of the mountain. The forest zone also houses the greatest variety of both fauna and flora.
wp5a37dacc_0f.jpg The star of the montane forest zone is the beautiful flower Impatiens kilimanjari, an endemic fleck of dazzling red and yellow in the shape of an inch-long tuba. You’ll see them by the side of the path on the southern side of the mountain. Vying for the prime piece of real estate that exists between the roots of the trees are other, equally elegant flowers including the beautiful violet Viola eminii and Impatiens pseudoviola.
Heath and moorland (2800m-4000m)
These two zones overlap, and together occupy the area immediately above the forest from around 2800m to 4000m – known as the low alpine zone. Temperatures can drop below 0°C up here and most of the precipitation that does fall here comes from the mist that is an almost permanent fixture at this height.
wp37b634bc_0f.jpg Immediately above the forest zone is the alpine heath. Rainfall here is around 1300mm per year. Grasses now dominate the mountain slopes, too, picked out here and there with some splendid wild flowers including the yellow-flowered Protea kilimandscharica. Another favourite, and one most readers will recognize instantly, is the back-garden favourite Kniphofia thomsonii, better known to most as the red-hot poker (pictured right).
Climbing ever further, you’ll soon reach the imperceptible boundary of the moorland zone, which tends to have clearer skies but an even cooler climate. Average per annum precipitation is now down to 525mm. The most distinctive plant in this area – indeed, on the entire mountain – is the senecio, or giant or tree groundsel (below right). Groundsels tend to favour the damper, more sheltered parts of the mountain, which is why you’ll see them in abundance near the Barranco Campsite as well as other, smaller valleys and ravines.
wp714215e9_0f.jpg Sharing roughly the same kind of environment is the strange lobelia deckenii, another endemic species and one that bears no resemblance to the lobelias that you’ll find in your back garden.
Alpine desert (4000m-5000m)
By the time you reach the Saddle, only three species of tussock grass and a few everlastings (below right) can withstand the extreme conditions. This is the alpine desert, where plants have to survive in drought conditions (precipitation here is less than 200mm per year), and put up with both inordinate cold and intense sun, usually in the same day. Up to about 4700m you’ll also find the Asteraceae, a bright yellow daisy-like flower and the most cheerful-looking organism at this height. wp93f08243_0f.jpg
Ice cap (5000m-5895m)
On Kibo, almost nothing lives. There is virtually no water. On the rare occasions that precipitation occurs, most of the moisture instantly disappears into the porous rock or is locked away in the glaciers. That said, specimens of Helichrysum newii – an everlasting that truly deserves its name – have been found near a fumarole in the Reusch Crater, a good 5760m above sea level, and lichen is said to exist right up to the summit. While these lichens may not be the most spectacular of plants, it may interest you to know that their growth rate on the upper reaches of Kilimanjaro is estimated to be just 0.5mm in diameter per year; for this reason, scientists have concluded that the larger lichens on Kilimanjaro could be amongst the oldest living things on earth, being hundreds and possibly thousands of years old!
