Thanks for your reply. My baby is only a 3rd of the size of the other 2 and is see no growth from her in the past week. Best I know they are about 3wks old. & I do have someone bringing me the food you specified. I was told to try feeding grits but I don't have any.Welcome to BYC! And welcome to the guinea section We adore them around here So sorry to hear about the attack
You said you are feeding medicated chick starter?
They need turkey and game bird starter for proper protein and vitamins.
I really do hate to say that she doesn’t look well from the picture. How much smaller is she?
I can’t see anything obviously wrong with its eye from the picture. Does it open at all, or stay closed all the time?
The baby's right eye is completely normal & appears to function properly. But the left eye, although it is open, is a greyish white color.....almost like a horrible cataract. I've seen dogs, cats, and even one of my eyes cloud up real bad with injury so even though it's not ideal, that makes me think it's an injury.
I'm glad to say that after a night of sleeping on my bedside with a light and also a heating pad, that she seems no worse, and maybe a tiny bit better, but I realize it's too soon to celebrate.
Thanks so much.
