appetite loss

My guinea pig (male, 3 years old) had a surgery for his mammary gland tumour 10 days ago. The surgery went fine and he started to get more active and like his normal self 2 days after his surgery. However, his appetite has remained consistently low since then (he was eating fine before the...

Hi Everyone! My precious little Toto (4.5 years) has been having a few health problems lately - one after another it seems. It started with a runny/gunky eye, and then a dental abscess and on-off tummy pain/stopping pooping. He seems to be prone to any pain related issues affecting his guts...

I'm a new user of this website and a new pig owner, closing in on 6 months. I have two pigs, one is about 10 months and the other is roughly 15 months, they are both females. The 15 month old has a big appetite, and is not very picky, but today she ate about 2/3 of her food as oppose to eagerly...

I’ve had my guinea pig for 6 years, and he’s always been so happy and energetic when I gave him his veggies; but today he didn’t even flinch when I gave him his favorite...carrots. He bit it, but didn’t actually eat the carrot. He’s also lost a TON of weight. He’s very boney now. And he’s got a...
