Junior Guinea Pig
Hello everyone,
My guinea pig, Autumn, seems to possibly have something wrong with her. She hasn't been fed any more than usual but suddenly started putting on a lot of weight (I'll post a before and after photo below that are a couple of months in between). Her bottom always used to get a little dirty but now its always coated with feces and pee and is disgusting (I try to wash it as much as possible). In addition, it seems like her bladder look a little swollen although she pees fine without pain. There was a dark brown/black crust on her nipples too that came off in chunks and is now gone.
On the upside she is still eating well, although despite the weight gain she doesn't seem to be eating many pellets. She loves all her fresh food though and munches on hay constantly.
