weight loss

Worried about my Chewie, I weigh them every Saturday and this week she dropped by 48g to 800g. Both the others dropped a bit too, but only about 10g, so I'm not concerned. Weighed her again this morning and she'd dropped a couple of g but nothing major and weighed her again this evening and...

So at the beginning of September I lost my beautiful boy Oswyn and his cagemate Rupert was lonely so I got two new baby boars and Rupert popcorned and played zoomies and was so happy to have new piggy friends it was lovely to watch... But when Oswyn died, I'd noticed Rupert was a touch...

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...

I have 2 male guinea pigs that are about four years old, Oswyn (pronounced: Oz-win) and Rupert and both have generally been healthy up to now- in fact the only time I can remember visiting the vets with them was when I found a wart on Ruperts bum It's harmless though but better to be safe than...

Hi all, Our pig Phin in the last 2-3 weeks has been consistently losing weight, he is about a 16 months old and at his heaviest weighed about 975g (he's never been as heavy as our other 3). He was still eating fine but across the last couple of days he's barely eating anything. He will eat...

I just got back from a 1 week vacation and my female guinea pig Toby seems to have lost weight. I have never weighed her before but she is noticeably thinner and lighter. My next door neighbor cam over everyday and changed the water and filled the hay and pellets if needed. My other guinea pig...

Please help us with any ideas you may have. My boyfriend and I have always had 4 guinea pigs. They are separated with 2 in one cage and 2 in the other. A year ago one of our guineas suddenly passed overnight. She had experienced bouts of diarrhea and had lost weight. We had taken her to the vet...

I am new to this forum but I have an odd issue with one of my little girls, she started with her weight at an average of 800g andd lost about 10-30g a day for a bit until she got to 500g which is her current average but it seemed to happen overnight in the beginning she was almost a sort of...

Hi, my girlfriend and I are rather desperate with our 2.5-year-old Monty, who's been feeling unwell for the past 2-3 months. Right now he's only eating very little (having lost almost 100g in the past week), we have to force-feed him instant hay (RodiCare) and hand-feed him vegetables and fruit...

I'm really hoping someone can help with this. My little Bentley has been losing weight quickly over the last week or so. I thought it was because we had introduced a new pair of piggies and he was just acting up. Checked his teeth the other day and one was chipped and the other looked way to...

Long post but please stick with me. I've spent the last few hours searching through health threads on here and Guinea Lynx and I've got a horrible sinking feeling Toast has a URI. For some time, every now and again Toast would make this strange sound, which after researching and listening to...

Hey all. So I posted about my little Daisy making wheezing noises a few weeks ago. It seems it was behavioural after all and she's stopped. She now seems to have lost weight, bony spine etc. We're weighing her. She's been pulling fur our a little from her tummy and I'm worried now she might...

Okay so when I first got my girls about a year ago I used to weigh them weekly, but after months of staying the same I stopped (I realise now I shouldn't have) Around October time Beans, who is roughly 2-3 years old ( not sure exactly as they're rescues) weighed 1160 grams. Toast, who is...

Hi everyone, I'm so sad to have to post this but I don't know what else to do for my girl Nym. She is four years old and has always been a small pig, 750-800 grams well weight but she dropped quickly to 650g and was coughing when she ate and started slobbering. Straight to the vets and diagnosed...
