Sadly my beloved Luna (1 year 2 months old) has suffered a stroke. I visited the vet immediately but because he didn’t see it happen he didn’t want to say it was for certain but prescribed me antibiotics. She drools on one side (the weak side) and has lost her balance and tilts to the one side...

On Tuesday, we got two little 6 weeks old boars from pets at home. We have noticed a very very slight head tilt on Boris, so we decided to check his ears. When we used a cotton bud to check it, it came out as a really dark brown coloured substance. When we checked the other ear, it was a bit...

Hi! My guinea pig is 4 years old. About a month ago, my guinea pig stared acting different (i.e. not eating as much, sort of shaking when she walked, smaller, liquid-er poops, and she had eye crusties). I took her to the vet and they said everything is fine, and the eye crusties were probably...

Hi there, my guinea pig had a large lump on her face so we took her to the vet. She examined her and said that she had 2 abscesses, so cut them open to drain the puss and bacteria. She's on antibiotics and we're draining it with hibiscrub to try and squeeze everything out. However there is a...

I feel annoying. :soz: So...I have to sows and I’d like to make them a c&c cage, however I’m not really sure where to buy them or how to add in a second level/ramp. Could somebody please help me out? Thank you! Sorry for being bothersome.

Okay so I think I found a cage that will work but I don’t trust myself so can the pig experts here tell me if this cage looks okay for two guinea pigs (who get along not as well I hoped they would yet sometimes manage)? It looks divided to me but can someone make sure? ;-; Thank you! <3

hi, I got my 3 boys castrated a few weeks ago and dissolvable stitches were put in. 2 of the boys stitches have dissolved but one of my boys hasn’t dissolved. How long should I leave it before taking him to the vets to get it removed?

Hi, I am a guinea pig owner since six years back when I bought my two first piggies, who were sisters. One fell terribly ill when they were only about two years old and we had to put her away. To give our remaining piggy a friend we bought a new one who was only a couple weeks old and also a...

I returned home from a week's holiday yesterday (six hour drive 😭) and my two hooligans stayed with a friend as opposed to my nan after their recent hay poke adventures (my nan can't see if anything is in/near the eye). And I cannot fault how she's looked after them. Both look happy and if I'm...

Hi all! Got my first two lady piggies recently, we have them a week now and they are settling in so well, they eat their veggies from our hands and have started to become very vocal for their dinner time etc. They are about 11/12 weeks old. Can anyone give me advice on when to start lap time...

We bought two male 8 month old pigs around two months ago as they were adoption ones in Pets At Home. Up until now they’ve been fine; cuddling and playing. Yesterday morning we woke up to find one (Blueberry) hiding in the hay rack away from the other (Mr Muffin). I took him out to find out his...

Hi everyone I’m not worried about my G pig but I was wondering if I needed to see the vet. My guinea pig had a cataract in his eye when he was young he is now three but I don’t know if I made the right decision by leaving it. His eye was a blue grey colour but now it has faded into a light...

hi! i’m not sure what category this would go under, but i guess it deals with my guinea pigs behavior. the fourth of july is only in 2 days, and i’m worried about my pig getting scared. he’s not phased by thunder storms from what i’ve seen, but i know it’s common for them to be scared by the...

Hey! Sorry for the long winded message. We’re off to rescue a couple of little piggies and I’d be grateful for any advice. We originally planned to adopt from a rescue (trying to teach my children the importance of rescuing rather than buying from a pet store) so we expected to get 2/3...

Hi My guinea pig Alvin has lost both bottom incisors. Last year he had an abscess under his jaw which was successfully treated. Then a month ago lost his left lower incisor. I took him to the vet who said it is probably due to the trauma of the abscess (and also he likes to move around the...
