concerned

Hi! I’m a bit concerned about my piggies, I took them to the vet last week and they both had URI’s, I just finished both of their rounds of antibiotics yesterday. They’re both 3 months old and I just got them a couple weeks ago, but they seem to have regressed a bit with being scared. I had them...

Basically I've had guinea pigs for a week, maybe less and I am concerned about some things which is 1. Is this food alright for guinea pigs along with some hay? 2. I sometimes find their poop in small clusters and just recently as today, like a relatively long thin line of poop. How can I fix...

Hi all! Totally confused so hoping someone will be able to help me out. Today I woke up and found my 4yr old female piggy with an absolutely soaking wet bottom that was quite a dirty brown. She has a white coat so it was very noticeable. I immediately thought it was diarrhoea but found none in...

Hi! I just got a baby boar yesterday, and he is adapting well to his environment and he already likes his cage mate. I do have some concerns. There is a bit of light noise when he breathes. I’m not sure if it is from my other pig’s fur or if it is because of something else. Has anyone had this...

So I posted recently that my guinea pig started sneezing like crazy, I toke him to the vet and the vet said its too early and to only bring them back (the one who is sneezing and his brother) if they have nose discharge. However recently he started coughing, though I can't tell if thats because...

Warning: Image of injury at bottom. Phil and Alex have had a fight. I'm used to their normal bickering but today was by far the worse. Phil's ear has been torn nearly in two, I can see white which I assume is cartilage. When I picked him up i found many scratches that had scabbed over under...

So I’ve been a bit concerned about Chorizo, when it comes to food he’s really not vocal, and he really doesn’t eat as much as Tiny (my new piggie)does. I weighed him today and he’s about 450 grams, and I believe he’s around 3-4 months. What do you guys think, do you think that’s an appropriate...

So I have 2 beautiful pigs, both over a year old and both female. The dominate girl, Muffin, has a descended stomach. It's been like this for a while and she hasn't acted any different (she's still active and eats and drinks just fine). What could it be? It feels hard-ish. Sorry the picture...

For the past 2 days my guinea pigs haven’t drank anything from their water bottle? They are both lively, playing, eating just not drinking? I’ve just ran out of hay so they didn’t have much yesterday but I’m on my way out now to get some..they’ve had some grass and red pepper and devoured the...

I've gone to clean my male guinea pigs rear ends to make sure there's no saw dust or hay stuck up there, to notice his bum was packed with this thick cream in colour smelly discharge, I've cleaned him out. What is it? And do I need to get him to the vets? He's just over a year old. Thanks in...

Hi, my guinea pig was neutered yesterday and his behaviour is what I expect to be typical for a recovering guinea. For example, being less active etc. I have laid towels out in his cage to make sure nothing sticks to his wounds. However, I have discovered that his urine has become extremely...

About 1 year old female pig was out of the cage for cuddling, when I noticed she was very quiet. Usually, she would be loud and happy, but for some reason this time she only made very faint chutting noises when I pet her. When listening closer, I realized that she was making a strange congested...

Here's the gist, my Cavy is refusing to eat his pellets or his hay but he will gladly accept fruits and veggies and his treats. He is kind of large (always has been since I adopted him) and this is unlike him to refuse to eat his pellets or hay. He is always the first one to his food bowl to...

This morning i noticed that Willow my 1 year old guinea pig has got a head tilt. I assume it is an ear infection but it could be worse. Today being sunday it would cost me £150+ to go to the vets (which i am obviously reluctant to do) evidently I will take her to the vets tomorrow but I'm so...

Hi there. I wonder if anyone could help me at all. Two weeks ago I bought two GPs', both boys which were 'hutch mates'. To start with the boys were really friendly and the big one looked after the little one. However, they both will never come out of their hut unless they think I am not in...

I'm not sure if I should be concerned or not about this, but my piggie Pickles doesn't appear to be eating hay, I put pelletes in and he eats them straight away, but his hay appears to be untouched, should I be concerned about this? or is he just enjoying his pelletes more? he eats veggies when...

So I have recently gotten two guinea pigs that are just about the same age. Though the white one (Dipper) is a lot chubbier. I don't know if you can tell from my profile pic, but he is chubbier than the black piggie (Moonbeam). I can't weigh him at the moment because I am currently sick, but...

My female guinea pig bugsy (inspired from the Adam Sandler film bedtime stories) has been in my life for 6 years now, which I hear is really good because guinea pigs live for up to five years. We thought she would have passed away along time ago because she has this infected sore on her back...
