Hi! I am very sorry that the news is not very good. Hopefully you can get over the inflammation. I am linking @PigglePuggle , @furryfriends (TEAS) and @Abi_nurse for you as they may have experience on this rather unusual issue. It is outside my own experience. PS: In order to help us when we...

I use this vets. They have 24hr vet cover on the premises, although not exotic, and I'm sure they get care 24/7. Before they had in house cover I was advised to book my guineas into an emergency hospital, if they needed round the clock care, but this hasn't been suggested since they had vets...

...not exotic specialists. I’m worried maybe there’s infection somewhere? Urinary? Hopefully not stones! Odin is around 11 months old but had Giardia parasite infection when he was a baby (still no idea where he picked that up from)? Since he’s always been smaller than his brother at 800g...

A fecal analylis on my sick piggies has come back and they are infected with Giardia and worms (sorry was so shocked I have forgotten type of worms). Vet thinks these have come from grass from our garden. I am picking up meds tomorrow from vets, I have started washing all fleece bedding on 90. I...

If no stones are present and antibiotics haven't worked, you might be dewaling with IC. My poppy has this and I use one cystease capsule a day and one vegan glucosamine tablet a day mixed with 2-3mls of water and syringe feed that once a dsay. She also has metacam when she's having very squeaky...

...Hi If there is blood in the stool, you need to contact your vet asap. The best would be a lab test so you know what you are up against. Giardia would be another one to test for. However, it can be that there are no parasites and it is another problem - but again, that is for a lab test to...

I had a kitten once with giardia- 100% fine in every way but had disgusting smelling diareah that wouldn’t go away. His poo tested positive for guardia and he responded to antibiotics in a few days. Wait and see what others think 🤔

Is that what came back from the poop analysis? I've not heard of Giardia before, what is it and how come all your piggies have gone down with it? Hope you can geton top of it quickly, healing vibes to all your piggies! :luv:

Lucky happy piggies. My boars love going in the runs outside but since they picked up giardia and worms (we assume from the lawn) the vet has advised us not to put them out until next year, when hopefully all pests will have been killed off by frost. They missed so much lovely weather this year...

...it's a very Common problem but I know I've read about it on the forum before but it was quite a while ago now Search results for query: Giardia Try having a look at this search looks like most of the posts are from your thread- but there's a few others thrown in try having a look at Guinea...

...I’ve never felt before. there simply aren’t words to explain the love I had for Odin, and the bond we had. After nursing him back from a Giardia infection as a baby (it was touch and go), my little boy became very attached to his mummy. 2020 has been a very difficult year, but I have...

We have Giardia and worms, and though not good I am going to do this :yahoo:. At least now I know what the problem is and why these piggies are all losing weight and acting lethargic. Picking up meds tomorrow and then the big wash begins! Very hot wash everything throw all wood out and F10 all...

...fleeces for 48 hours before using might help. You can do this for lice and fleas, it kills the eggs too, but not sure if it works for worms and giardia, maybe you could ask the vet? Just put fleece in a plastic bag, seal and place in freezer for 48hours. Wishing your piggies a speedy recovery x

I was looking up guardia and it was talking about humans also. Can it be past to people? i have 3 kids that hold them so i just want to be sure.

Thank you so much. I have replied to you but it is a bit further down on the thread if you want to read. Xx

...avatar pic. Anyway, when we first got Odin he started with a range of health issues from being very young. I nursed him as a baby through Giardia infection that left him with some chronic intestinal inflammation. We then faced bladder issues, a retrobulbar abscess that resulted in on going...

Hi all, My sister has checked everything on the Guinea Lynx site re diarrhoea Ie “No giardia, coccidia or worm eggs although was only 1.5g of poo. Saw some budding yeast in poo smear but will have a look properly on a gram stain.” She also said “It will take at least 48 hours to get...

Giardia is a parasite that wild and/or domestic animals can transmit (plus humans can catch it) It can lay dormant in soil and contaminate drinking water. When I was hiking in USA many years ago we were advised not to drink any water unless it had been boiled. I think there was antibiotics that...

Yes feel the same @piggieminder! My 6yr old Rupert had one stone surgery, got another that was thankfully tiny but reacted badly to anaesthetic just having the X-ray so Simon at Cat and Rabbit said he wouldn't be a good candidate for another surgery. So try my hardest but it's definitely a...

...he got stones but nothing unusual has come back yet. They are all being treated with Panacur for five days, apparently it treats worms and Giardia. I have to do a complete clean out everyday for eight days so I am going to try to use mostly newspaper that way I can just lift soiled hay and...
