What's this down to? it sounds like these guinea pigs have eaten apples or some citric fruit? I'll be on the look out x

my pigs have apples are they not meant to a guide i read said they could but not all the time my pigs love granny smiths.
 
hmm... This sounds serious...I better keep an eye on my pigs and this post...If you get anymore info, please pass it on to me :)
 
This is an old thread!

Although, I must admit, I was interested to read it, given my Holly and her mysterious mouth problem/weight loss. The vet couldn't see anything wrong in her mouth other than lots of undigested materials.
 
whats best food to feed 3moth old baby piggies

hi there what is the best diet for my little male piggies i feed them on a guinea pig mix with added vitamins what is the best fresh fruit and veg to feed them
 
what does it mean if my guinea pig has a lump on its side?
fatty is over five years old i think it has something to do with her age.
 
azithromycin

Its probably something totally unrelated but one of my piggies developed a very sore, ulcerated patch at the back of his mouth which made eating very difficult. Food was collecting inside his mouth on that side too. My vet put him on a course of the antibiotic azithromycin and there was an immediate improvement and although all in all its taken a couple of months, he is now back to good health. Like I say its probably something totally different but thought I would just mention it.

Cant praise this antibiotic enough it works well when all others have failed,but some vets are reluctant to prescribe it.
 
My piggie has great pink lips and in the corners of his mouth it is a bit red, but he constantly is eating and drinking and fine i think its probs just from red capsicum sorry just had to put it out there in case someone has this and gets worried as long as they are eating its fine? becaause he has had this for MONTHS and MONTHS and yea:):)8)8):(|):(|)
 
To the Vets today with Chipychanga and his teeth :(

My old man, Chipychanga, is now 7 years old and he has had two teeth surgeries, the last one was in January I believe. This morning I noticed he is again having difficulty picking up his food and chewing. His eyes have been runny lately and he's puffed up.

I weighed him and he's down to 2.3 lbs which is low for him. Back in May he was 2.7 lbs and holding. I called his regular Vets but they don't have anyone to see him today.

So I called a different Vets and they will see him at 2pm. I'm nervous but also hoping this Vet will have more experience. Chipy's old vet has gone on Mat Leave and a new one was in her place but she didn't seem to have as much experience. I didn't like how she put my guinea pig, Ping, to sleep. he squealed in pain and I"m still upset by it.

Please send vibes that Chipy can have his teeth fixed and live longer. I love him so much and have never been this bonded to a piggie. I noticed today one of his lower teeth is missing. Poor old man. He also has grey hair now.

It's so hard when they get old. :(
 
Here is Chipychanga:
