3. If it appears that the protected minor or estate may suffer loss or injury during the time required for service of the citation on the guardian, on the court's own motion or on petition, the court may:

(a) Suspend the powers of the guardian by issuing a 30-day temporary restraining order or an injunction;

(b) Compel the guardian to surrender the protected minor to a temporary guardian for not more than 30 days; and
