My piggy has a flaky ear. Could this be a fungal infection? His other ear looks fine. I want to take him to the vet anyways, but if anyone has any answers before the appointment i would love to know. Thank you ♡
Hello, one of my piggies started hooting today and it was just so loud that I became concerned. They haven't done it before, but they do occasionally cough when eating. Should I be concerned or is this a normal behavior? (Sorry, I've only had my piggies for about a month)
Hi! My partner and I just had a weekend today and his mum piggy sat our boys. They were good as gold and we have a camera on them. We’ve come back today and taken them out for lap time and a check this evening and we’ve noticed this on his eye? We don’t think it’s hurting him as he’s letting us...
Hi everyone, my piggie Silvio has a lump under his neck and they are going to be doing a CT scan on him. The vet says there are risks to the scan since he will have to be put under anesthesia, and extra risk since he is underweight.
We have been feeding him double takes of Emeraid but are...

I had 2 guinea pigs, and one of them (his name was Chips) sadly passed away recently. And Cola (8 months, male) is still with us. I took him to vet after his mate passed away. The vet...
Hello, I found these two lumps within my piggies cage this evening (I have one made pig who is castrated and and is 2 1/2 and one female pig who is about 1 1/2). The lump on the left (more brown coloured) is more squishy and wet in texture and the one on the right (white) is harder however still...

Hi everyone. This site has helped my partner and I navigate health issues for two different pigs over the last two years with dental disease. I just wanted to express my sincere and profound gratitude for everyone here, because you all have helped us so much.

Hi all,
I have been doing some research and would like some advice if possible regarding our unwell guinea pig, willow, a four year old rescue.
Four days ago I noticed she had a runny nose and was sneezing. We took her to the vet who said she had a respiratory infection and prescribed her...
So for awhile I've been noticing a red spot on my boy Manny' foot. It has been there since I got him.
But just this week I realized it could be an infection.
Right now I can't get veterinarian care but I've read that soaking the foot in warm water and Epsom salt and then wrap it and do that...
Hi all, we recently had to get a new playmate for Toffee, as his friend Biscoffi (R.I.P) unfortunately had a undiagnosed congenital heart problem (found in postmortem) that filled his lungs with fluid over time. He literally went from 100 - 0 within 2 hours from playing and being a nutter to...
I had one of my guinea-pigs die last year at 7 years old. My current one panda was going on really strong and really enjoying life until the last couple days, he was still happy and interested in everything but I could tell he was losing his balance and starting to fall over. This morning I woke...
I replaced one of my piggies water bottle since it was old and leaky before but noticed he hasn’t been drinking from it. I tested it and have seen him take 1-2 sips from it, but noticed by the end of the day there was little drank from it which is not like him. He’s usually going through water...
Hi everyone,
So I just discovered that this ball was too close to my pigs cage and they chewed this hole in it. It’s very thin plastic (it’s basically a giant inflatable ball, so almost the plastic of like a pool float but maybe even thinner). The hole is about the size of a tennis ball, maybe...
Hi! Please excuse if I sound panicky during this, this just started happening today and I'm so scared for my little 4 year old baby. Her name is Candy, she started having a slight whistle to her breathing (which she's breathing normally, no wheezing) and has been a bit sneezy today (accompanied...
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, another one of my paranoid thoughts with my piggies. My piggy Bear has had this nose whistle for a few months.
(Video attached below)
I can’t remember if he’s had it forever, because i just noticed it a few months ago. My hearing is bad so I’m not sure how long he really has had it...
