Hello, Firstly, I live in an area of New York with an extremely slim array of options for vets. No emergency vets see guinea pigs, and each of the few exotic vet options are closed for Christmas tomorrow. My Bercy is doing this aggressive almost chewing motion and flexing his cheeks very wide...

I need some serious advice with a dental issue I’m having with one of my pigs, 4 year old Bruce. A few weeks ago I noticed his poops getting softer so booked him in for a check up with the vet, before this came he stopped eating food completely. I took him in to the vets asap and they found...

Hi everybody. My Penelope usually has to have her molars trimmed about once a year. She just turned 4. She’s been having this since she was about 2-2 1/2. She last had it done March of 2022. It’s now September 2023. I noticed she has started showing signs of needing it done again. She is...

Hi all, my little piggie poppy had a molar trim on Monday, it is now saturday and she is still not eating anything other than critical care, her droppings a little apple and sometimes broccoli, it seems to me like she can't chew after her surgery as she constantly rummages through her pellets...

We had an issue with overgrown molars with my other piggie and the vet highly advised we have to ensure atleast 80% of our pigs diet was hay. We always make sure he has a large amount of hay and half a bowl pf biscuits every morning and he gets a veggie treat every sunday. But were having an...

Ive posted before about Oswyn (said: Oz-win) my 4 yo piggy. Hes having issues with his teeth- or at least suspected issues inc drooling and severe weight loss and my usual vet didn't seem very confident so I switched vets to one recommended on here.. I went to rose cottage vets in Runcorn today...

Hi there. My poor pig, Khaleesi, just got her front incisors and back molars trimmed by a vet, who I was told is experienced with this procedure, on Thursday (four days ago). Her molars were overgrown and were causing tongue entrapment and the vet who did the procedure on her told me that they...
