older female

Hello! I wanted to post here to ask for advice on caring for a older guinea pig with recurring health issues. I want to make her as comfortable as possible in the time she has left with us. Some background: She adopted as an adult from Craigslist and likely 1-2 years old in 2018. I have had...

Hi guys so my 4yr old girl had her best mate pass away and i needed to get her a new friend. At first I got her a de-sexed 3yr old boy but they didnt get along straight away as they are both too dominant and the boy started attacking my girl each time i tried to bond them (quite aggressively...

Hi, I’m a bit lost at the moment with my pig Pip. She‘s 6.5 years old and has ovarian cysts. Myself and the vet have decided to not ‘treat’ them (ie. drain, spay or injections) but are rather giving her metacam to control pain. She‘s on a low dose of metcam at the moment as she didn’t react so...

Hi, I was health checking my 6 year old female Pip about an hour ago and noticed that her bits were a bit swollen and noticed that the top of her bits was quite hard and looks like it had lost some hair (not sure if it just looks like she’s lost hair because her bits are a bit swollen). She‘s...

Hi, whilst holding Oreo today (about 20 mins ago!) I found a weird spot on her nose. Its white and feels solid, she doesn’t seem in pain when I touch it. I haven’t noticed it before and hold her everyday, so I think it’s appeared very recently. She’s otherwise her normal self, eating and...

Hello! I'm feeling a bit stuck with my 5 year old guinea pig penny. Shes in her senior years and in the past year she slowly began to dislike floor time more and more. I used to take her out, set up a bunch of two ended hides in her play pen, and place different veggies all over for her to go and...

Hi all!, I'd like to know what to expect from all you seasoned guinea pig owners! Our beloved Rosie is 7 1/2 and we've had her since she was about 3 months old. She's still going strong and has generally been super healthy! She was on an antibiotic a couple month ago as a precaution...

Hey, new to this forum! First, let me say that my girl (Neels - weird name, I know) is 6 years old, thus why I was not concerned when she began to lose a little weight; everyone I talked to about it said that this is normal. I have no way of weighing either of my girls, but I know that if I...

Recently my guinea pig has been drinking a lot of water, she is over 6/7 years old I cannot remember exactly, I know that may sound bad but she is a baby of one of my old Guinea pigs☺️ and I was quite young when she was born so I didn't think to remember the date! I'm not sure if she has always...
