I had a heart pig, my old boar Boris (my avatar)! He was perfectly fine for the majority of his life, but started looking a bit skinny for no particular reason, still had a good appetite and such. He started breathing funny so I took him to my local vet who diagnosed him with a URI, and gave him...

It could be completely unrelated, I would ask the vet to check her heart but also check for a URI or Pneumonia as all 3 can cause fluid. If she has fluid on her lungs she will need a diuretic to get rid of it. Not sure how this would work with the thyroid meds though so see what the vet suggests.

Sounds like he needs to see the vet again- he may need a diuretic if there is fluid in his lungs. Sounds like further investigation is required if this is just a persistent URI, although still serious, or another issue like a heart problem. Best to get him checked sooner rather than later x

The biggest problem you are likely to face here is your struggle with vet fees I'm afraid. He needs a chest X-ray to check wether this is URI/pneumonia, an issue from a mass or a heart issue and then long term appropriate treatment for the diagnosis. This will be costly, but I'm afraid without...

With Pneumonia there tends to be fluid on the chest, and he would need a diuretic in addition to any antibiotics. With a URI and Pneumonia steam therapy can help and so can a product called Bisolvon which dissolves mucous in the nasal passages. I am not sure if that is available in Estonia...

Lasix is the same as frusemide, a diuretic. It would have helped if there was fluid but sometimes it does take a couple of doses for it to work properly x

When she had the xray do you know if they checked her heart? it would possibly be enlarged if she does have a heart issue. Other symptoms to look out for are: Nodding when breathing Rapid breathing Hooting (can sometimes end with a cough) Recurrent URIs Pea eye ( I see she has this)...

It sounds like the URI has gone a stage up and may require a stronger antibiotic, as well as a diuretic (frusol or furosemide) to help clear/drain the lungs (pneumonia) and some mucus thinning bisolvon powder to help clear the airways. Please see a vet as soon as you can. Keep a bowl if steaming...

Please step in with syringe feed top up and watering as soon as your guinea pig is losing its appetite. Switch from weighing weekly to weighing daily at the same time to monitor the food intake; 80% of it is hay, which you cannot control. Your home care is as important as any medical care in...

Hi and welcome! You are doing great! Your dedicated care is making all the difference. The need to breathe comes before the need to drink and thirdly the need to eat. Please keep in mind that around 80% of the daily food intake should be hay, so weigh him once daily and continue to top him up...

Keep him warm enough &in a draught free area. The steam therapy should help him breath more easily, if u have any olbus oil-leave some on some cloth/kitchen towel near his cage/hutch not within reach of him, this should also help to clear his airway. My vet offers cheaper follow up appointments...

I totally understand. It could be still be pneumonia if he's responding to antibiotics but the fluid in his abdomen is serious and he really needs more diuretics. Really hope you can find a better vet that can help him x

Thanks for your advice Wiebke. Its baffling as her breathing sounds so much better but she just seems to be passing mucus. She is eating more but she also has dental issues which is another set back. She seems much more herself today. I have been doing the steam in a bowl trick which seems to...

Please dont allow the vet to sedate him until a heart issue is ruled out.. This could have fatal consequences! My fudge was like this, exactly like rohan. She had the uri treatment (twice), nebulisers, teeth checked consciously (i refused sedation as i queried heart), bloods... I finally took...

Such a gentle, snuggly, loving little man, Rolo was everything to me and more. My partner are I adopted this little guy from a shelter in March of 2017. He was already at least three years old, and was very well shaken up in his new surroundings. Living with us was a great guinea pig boar...

Oh no, is it possible to have her seen as diuretics can help to if it's a URI. Poor Little girly - sending your little one some healing vibes... And hugs to you it can be so stressful when our little ones are ill!

I noticed that last night one of my girls breathing was really crackly. She's fine in herself, still eating etc. Took her to the vet this morning who said she's got an infection and fluid on her lungs. She's got baytril once a day for 10 days. I've been reading online that diuretics can help...

Thanks for the advice :)

Ok, so we have a diagnosis: Dilated Cardiomyopathy. He had lateral x-rays done, without anaesthetic, and his heart was very very large and round. It was so large it was pushing his trachea against his spine! So he is beginning Vetmedin today, I asked about Fortekor but he wants to see how he...
