dying guinea pig

Hello, I used to be part of this forum when I first adopted 2 male boars several years ago fast forward to now we have had 4 in total (all rescues) and now have 1 boar left. We decided not to get further Guinea pigs as our situation has changed and so after Diego died a year ago we have been...

Hi just adopted my piggie Cosmo only 2 days ago. Since he got home he’s been scratching and biting himself. I thought it was mites so I treated with ivermectin, small improvement but still itching. Now, he’s given out discharge through his nose, refusing to eat much, very lethargic and laying...

My young rescue guinea pig Binx was playing and eating just fine until Sunday. He is 8 months old, 5 of those months spent with us. He is housed with his buddy in a 6x3 C&c cage indoors and enjoyed a variety of veggies and hay each day. On Sunday I noticed he stopped eating and drinking and...

Hello, my Guinea pig (4 years old) recently about 5-7 hours ago got surgery on his cheek/below cheek, he had a small tumour that caused his teeth to vary in length making it difficult for him to eat. During the car ride home (we picked him up about 1 and a half hours ago) he was rubbing his...

I have a 3 and a half year old boar. Noticed that he is off his food including salad and hay. His eyes are dull and sunken & he is hunched in appearance. He has lost weight too. Poop seems looser. Just doesn't look happy. Please advise so I can make him comfy.

I don’t think I’ve cried as much as I have after losing my baby. His final few minutes with me were spent snuggling with me listening to ‘Somewhere only we know’. When he passed away I didn’t cry. I was just completely numb. The second I closed my bedroom door I just collapsed and started...

You probably know about my guinea pigs struggle and his constant strokes. Today that all ended. He was paralysed and refusing to eat. I did what I could but he couldn’t pull through. I really did love him and he was my everything. 2:07🖤 He peacefully passed away surrounded by the comfort of his...

Hi everyone. A couple of days ago we noticed that our 6 year old piggy was becoming very lethargic and not eating as she usually would. Today she has become even more lethargic and is closing her eyes a lot (not sleeping). She’s been alone from about 9am when we all went to work, and I just got...

I have this ten year old guinea pig, Chuckles who is dying. We're expecting him to go either today or tomorrow. Because of his situation I decided it would be better for him to die peacefully at home instead of being euthanized at the vets. I feel horrible for him, and his cage mate, Boomer. But...
