gi stasis

Hi everyone, On sunday we noticed both of our boys had soft poops, with Moose (1 year old) being hit harder by it. We took them off veggies and started giving critical care, but the next day Moose was a lot worse, and had stopped eating and pooping. He's now been to the vets a few times, and...

I wanted to come on here and post our experience with regards to the loss of our little boy, Rodney. Our hearts ache today having woken up yesterday morning to our beloved pig, who crossed the rainbow bridge on Saturday morning. This all started on Friday morning when we noticed that Rodney...

Hello, My piglet Fitzgerald started having sneezing fits about a week ago. I took him to the vet as soon as I could, and his lungs were cloudy, apparently, so he was prescribed a generic version of baytril and a probiotic. The diagnosis is that he probably inhaled some hay dust, so he might...

Hi all, My piggy Theo was diagnosed with GI stasis and bloat about a month ago. We dilligently syringe-fed him and gave him antibiotics, metoclopramide, metcam, and other assorted medicines the vet prescribed for over three weeks, and last week he seemed to be getting better and we were told to...

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Lydia from Longmont, Colorado. Firstly, I would like to thank you all because although I just registered and this is my very first post, I have been looking at this forum on and off for tips on guinea pig care, creating DIY fleece liners, understanding piggie behavior...

Hi everyone, I posted recently our turmoil on if we should take our boy for bladder surgery or not, having discovered he had stones about 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately he became quite obviously poorly on Monday, (he was managing happily with meds until then) and we ended up taking him for an...

Hi! So my piggy, Pepe Le' Pew, has been ill for two weeks now. I noticed that he had stopped pooping and hadn't touched his food or water in about a day at first, I took him to a vet soon after and they told me he looked okay, took a fecal sample and tested it and he had no parasites or...

Hi guys! My guinea Guts is in the hospital with GI stasis and we thought bloat. He only had some mild gas, and they've been amazing in treating him and communicating this time around. (Even if I get a little crazy.) I was really on them about his teeth, since it's very obvious he wants to eat...
