Hello, My pig Peanut is leaving calcium deposits every few days. They seem to be bright white and slightly gritty. No huge deposits. She is on a low calcium and on low calcium/grain free pellets. I’ve tried filtering the water but they seem to go off water when I do. I give her the oxbow joint...

Hi everyone, I’m just wondering if anyone has experienced this and what they did. I also need to vent a bit. This year has been terrible for one of my girls. She had started with having a seizure about 9 months ago, was treated for an ear infection and then seemed okay. About a month later...

Hi everyone, I’m just wondering if anyone has been through something similar. My girl had a bladder infection and she was in quite a bit of pain. She was on antibiotics for a week and it seemed to resolve. After a week after finishing her meds, it came back. She was on antibiotics for another...

Hi everyone, I’m having a bit of a situation with one of my girls and wondering if anyone else has gone through something similar. About three weeks ago she was in extreme pain and peeing blood - I got her to the vet as fast as I could and they said she had a bladder infection. She was on...

A week ago one of my pig's cinnamon had major bloat, so I took her to the ER right away. She wouldn't eat veggies, pellets, or hay and wasn't drinking any water. She was diagnosed with partial GI stasis. They also found some fluid in her uterus, and uterer after some x-rays (GDV was ruled out...

Hi everyone, Unfortunately my first post is more of a stressed search for advice. (Also apologies if I’ve done this wrong). I have a male guinea pig named Dougie who is about 3 years old and he is my absolute world. I’ve noticed over the past two weeks he has started straining when doing his...

My Guinea pig has been peeing blood. I don’t know if she has a UTI or bladder stones. What should I do? Should I take her to a vet? If so, how much would it usually cost? She’s still eating, drinking, and pooping. I’m buying urinalysis test strips to see if she has a UTI. I’m really scared...

Hi, I have just adopted a new female piggie from a rescue. I was told she was all healthy but this morning I noticed a pink spot on her wee (I used white kitchen roll underneath the hay to soak up the wee). Emailed to the owner of the rescue organisation but she says it looks absolutely normal -...

Hello, we rescued a female guinea pig a few days ago, she’s around 7/8 weeks old. Whilst having her out for some lap time this evening, she has done a couple of wees which have come out pink. She didn’t cry whilst doing them or show signs of discomfort. I’ve panicked and immediately booked her...

Hello, I have a 12 week old guinea pig. 2 weeks ago at 10 weeks old one of my guinea pigs started making an uncomfortable noise whilst peeing. We took her to the vet who said it was not gut and was definitely UTI. She carries on as normal, eats normally and passes both poop and pee. The vet gave...
