Thanks Lynx,
We will experiement and see what we can use. It's in kind of a funny place.
My vet did mention if the wheezing got worse or no better, the next step would be to do a chest x-ray.
Everyone is eating Cavy Performance, all bowls were empty this evening so I filled them back up. They eat veggies and hay also, and are drinking. I just expected them to gain weight more quickly. I will post their weights since they came and the weight chart here and would love to hear feedback.

The weights are down a little this evening but that I believe has to do with the empty dishes and the lateness of the hour when I weighed them. If only I was more consistent! I also forgot to weigh them this morning. (bad me)
Any thoughts?
I do have Critical Care here but have not been supplementing because they are eating well and are all up from their original weights, which is of course good.
Also, FL does drink a lot of water and seems to have a bit of a pot belly.
