Hi everyone my baby piggy (not sure exactly how old he is), is drinking a lot of water compared to my other pig. Pretty much everytime i come downstairs to see them he is drinking water. Is this maybe a sign of diabetes? I have a vet appointment on Monday but just wanted to hear any insight.

Both are males from 2 different petcos, and we were told they’re both babies. The black one is way smaller than the brown one when not scrunched up, and his face is pointy. His front paws are black and his back feet are brown (or whatever color is on his face). This pic is when we first got them...

A couple days ago I noticed my baby Ramen’s eye was looking weird and I looked all over the internet to try and find out what’s wrong with her but never found anything. :td: Her behavior hasn’t changed much and she still takes care of herself like before, but she hates it when I try to touch...

My new baby I have had for a week has a crusty spot near her genitals and nowhere else on her body. I’m wondering if it is just a dry skin patch that will resolve on its own, cause I’ve never seen ringworm on genitals. The spot is right on her tailbone area. There is no inflammation present. She...

Hello all, My guinea pig fluffy was just diagnosed with Arthritis two days ago 😭He is about 5.5 years old. He has it in his spine and knees and it’s painful enough that he’s not walking. The vet prescribed Meloxicam for pain relief but he’s still crying when I pick him up to clean his poop. I...

Hi guys this isn’t guinea pig related but i’m freaking out about my boyfriends hamster. She periodically makes these wheezing squeaks for a profusive amount of times. She’s about 9 months.

Hello all! I just wanted some help identifying some slight hair loss under my pig Taro's eye in the right bottom corner. The skin/fur in the area is dry and smooth (not crusty or flaky) and there have been no behaviour changes since noticing the problem. I haven't found any further hair loss...

Hey all. My Chris had an x-ray last week which showed a kidney stone. I’m heartbroken, as he is now crying/whimpering a lot. At least I think that is the sound of pain.. I attempted to post a video to see if anyone can identify the sound or is familiar with it but it won’t allow me to. Maybe I...

Hello, I have gotten my hands on an extremely malnourished pig. I can see all his bones and he was very weak up until last night when he was given fresh veggies and vitamin C. He is in good care now and is is higher spirits however I am extremely concerned about his weight. he has access to...

My skinny pig was attacked by my cat last night and she bled a little. Her lung looked a little messed up but i had no way of getting to the vets until later on today. She was doing fine eating drinking running around so we thought she was ok but she started squeaking and was on her side i...

So we recently took our boy (2 years 5 months) to the vet, and he had an operation to remove five bladder stones. Before this operation I assumed his food intake had gone down since he was doing small, thin poos instead of the regular sized ones. Anyway, we took him home from the operation and...

Hi guys, I have a 1.5 year old male skinny pig and he has never had any issues. Within the last few days he has completely stopped eating his hay, at first we thought we might have spoiled him with too many goodies and that he would go back to eating his hay but he hasn't. He acts interested in...

Hi, So right now I have one Guinea pig (Apple) I’m not going to go into to much detail, but his friend passed away, and we couldn’t find a trusted home for him. He’s been very happy though, a few days after his friends death he didn’t climb up on the side of his cage looking for food, but after...

Hi everyone! My 5 guinea pigs seem to be a bit bloated and pear-shaped and I don't know why. I stay clear of high calcium foods regularly because of strong white wee in the past when I first rescued them so I'm really confused what's going on. I've outlined my feeding schedule below, grateful...
