poo

Hi all I posted last week Bloat - help! Jack has been up and down. Another trip to the exotic vet last night showed from x ray that his gas has massively improved and has literally gone, he also feels squishy. In himself he is also largely the same. He has really good days and poops loads and...

Sorry in advance for the long post.. So for anyone that has been following Honey's experience of having a Spay, they will know that two days before her spay she got very soft poops, and this has continued still to this day (since the 15th September), various things along the way could have...

As in depth as possible, what's the best way to bathe a skittish guinea pig? Malcolm's a boar and he hasn't had a bath since he's been staying with me (his previous owner did a bath once a month). He smells like poo and I wanna hold/cuddle him without having to pull my face away all the time...

I noticed that there was a pink patch on my piggies fleece and assumed it was my 4/5 year old boar as it was in his spot where he sleeps all the time. I googled and found that it could be blood in his urine or that his urine had just oxidated, I saw post saying I should put him on a white towel...

I've just gone to say goodnight to my piggies and noticed a couple of tiny blobs of reddish sticky goo stuck to the fleece. It seems to have become harder/stickier as it dries. It *could* have come from the pieces of bell pepper, but there's no food (or evidence that they've bern eating it)...

Just returned home to find both piggies fine but the poos (I suspect coming from Mo though most of them are like it so could also be Steve) almost purple? They haven't had beetroot but did have a mixed salad the smorning of red lettuce and normal lettuce leaves- it's not red? And there's a...

About 2 days ago I noticed my guinea pig Bruce was pooping less, and the poops he was passing were tiny. I thought it was just a diet thing as he didn’t seem to be in any pain or anything, was still eating plenty of hay and drinking water, though I did notice he was eating less pellets. However...

Hi, so I have three 3 y/o piggies - Cherry, Clover and Hazel. Cherry keeps harassing Hazel for her poo, I've read they sometimes eat poo from healthy pigs if they're not well, but Cherry seems fine other than this. Do I need to take her to the vet? P.S. I'm not really bothered she's eating...

Yep me again and yes another poop thread. :lol!: must be getting sick of my poop questions by now. Anyway last time I did a poop question it was regarding the size of Mo's poosthat have gotten smaller (his poos used to be GIANT!). You guys said it could be cos of Steve. Now Steve's have...

So how guys me again with yet another thread on poop! I've read the threads and guinea pig lynx website on poos about 100 times and yet everytime I see something a little off I still write a thread- I blame my nerves! Mo is normal in himself -recently seen the vet for his ear (which by the...

Hello, for a few days I have been noticing that Medi occasionally wheeks a little when she poops. She doesn´t do it all the time but when she does, there is a white stuff on the poop. I wasn´t worried about it at first as I thought it might be excess calcium. However, she seems to have hard time...

Hello, my Piggy is 2months old (and he's single for now, hopefully we'll get him a companion soon). Since we live in a building, unfortunately we can't take him outside but we give him some floor time on balcony where he runs around and hides. His cage is also on the balcony and there weren't...

I have two guinea pigs and even though they eat the same food, one of them has a really bad smeling poops. It smells like vinegar or something acidic...(cat poo smells like roses compared to that). They are on fleece and everything is going great, but the smell from the poops is filling up the...

Sorry I hope it's just nothing... I mean everything seems fine. Steve is eating,drinking,squeaking,popcorning- I actually just had them on the lawn for about 20/30 minutes and yep fine. However on taking their tube back upstairs (Mo did not enter it at all because I was watching them so it's...

Hi everyone. So a couple of days ago I noticed one of my pigs didn't want to come down for greens. She's normally waiting at her bowl about a half an our before greens time, so this was weird. I had to pick her up and move her to her food bowl. Once she was there, she ate fine. At this point she...

So hi guys yet again on the subject of Mo's bowels. Before I share my worries I just want to point out that Mo is eating well,par his hay which he is still eating but not as vigorously and his teeth are pristine. His hair bounces back,he's alert and chews bars for food. No hunched posture though...

Hello everyone, This is my first time posting on this forum so please correct me if I make any mistakes! We have a 5 year old boar named Pebble (PB as a nickname). He now lives alone after we lost our other piggy two years ago. He has always been fit and well, other than once having a UTI...

So I've asked before but a picture might be clearer and help others who are still a little confused. I understand the whole size range thing and that a healthy guinea pig poo should be a smooth shape that it is firm enough but not hard and soft enough but not watery. Haha so this isn't really an...

I've had a read on here and I've seen that small poos can mean not enough food intake or a digestive problem... I'm not sure if it's coming from Beans or Toast but I'm inclined to say Beans because I found the poos in the house that 90% of the time it's only Beans who uses it. I always monitor...

Hi! My lovely boy Ted had a bladder op 4 weeks ago. He had a very bad reaction to the op and nearly died... He stopped eating for ten days and was on constant hand feeding. Thankfully he has made a slow but good recovery. He's had lots of gut problems such as runny poos and his poo hasnt...
