Hi there! I have a 6 year old boar who has been poorly since yesterday. When I came home from work, hewasn’t interested in his veggies or any treats I was offering and was unusually quiet. I straight away started with syringe feeding recovery food and simethicone to relive any possible gas with...

Hi, so I posted a thread before about how my guinea pigs are living (two bonded males and one separate male due to failed trio) and I have since looked into rescues in my area. I am 100% going to try play dates to ensure a higher chance of a stable relationship. I have tried to look into this...

Hi all, I brought some hay from a farm shop. It's the usual place I go to as they do a large bale for £5.50 and it's lovely green meadow hay! however, this bale I got yesturday has a lot of these leafs and stems in? Is it ok for my guinea pigs to eat? I have been trying my best to pick it out...

Hi, one of my girls ( she may be anything from 3yrs + as we rescued her so do not know her age) has gone down hill since yesterday really quickly. I have found two lumps and we took her to the vet who found lumps around all of her lymph nodes. Effectively my worst fear was lymphoma and the vet...

I saw this eye lesion/red area, almost looks like the inner part of an eyelid, on my 15 month guinea pig today when I got home from work. It wasn't there yesterday. Does not seem to be bothering him. His cage mate is very submissive so I dont think it would have been him. Any ideas? I will be...

Hi everyone. I'm putting this thread on to ask for a second opinion on behalf of a friend. She has a guinea pig and her vets have suggested that she is to put her guinea pig to sleep because of the growths on her back. I told her I would ask on here what everyone thought of the matter? The...

Hi, I've recently had two pigs with bloat which was treated by putting a needle in their side to get the gas out. In fact one was done 3 days running after bloating up again (which stopped after I told the vets to stop giving him any more veg). Both seemed to recover for a while only for us to...

Hi, our beautiful boy Squeak is currently staying at the vets after going off his veg on Thursday. We just two weeks ago lost our other boy Bubble after he'd seemingly got over an extremely bad case of bloat, then come home only to have to go back after two weeks because he'd gone off his food...

Hi all, my boar Bubble is going for a ten week check up on his teeth on wednesday at the Cat and rabbit clinic in Northampton. Its about a two and a half hour drive each way. I'm a bit worried as they say its going to be about 20 C on Wednesday and humid. Any tips on how I can make sure he...
