Hi! The other night I noticed Minnie squeaking/almost like straining while she was pooping. I immediately got her out and her poops were very soft. They weren’t shaped at all and (this is gross) but really sticky since they were so soft. I massaged her belly, have been giving her gripe water as...

So about 20-25 mins ago my (roughly) 2 year old Guinea Pig dunkin was choking. We aren't sure on what specifically but we were able to get him breathing again. But even though he's breathing again and his lips aren't white anymore I still worry he isn't fully well. He's panting or wheezing in a...

Hi everyone i have attached a photo of my piggy Bear’s, foot. I don’t know if something is wrong or if his foot is just naturally red like that. He is very hard to pick up, he just now started trusting me by coming up to the cage to see me. I have never been able to really look at his feet. The...
