Hi! I’m new to this forum and I thought I’d join and ask a question as I’ve been trying to get an answer everywhere! I’ve got 2 guinea pigs they’re both roughly 4 years old. They’re indoor guinea pigs but about 3 weeks ago I’ve let them outside and I believe they’ve eaten too much grass because...

hey guys , i’m worried that my guinea pig had bloat as whenever i touch his belly it hurts , and there was a point before i researched guinea pigs that i would give them loads of fresh grass (which can cause bloat), so i was wondering would it hurt to give infacol to them even if they possible...

So little Steve had X-rays done Sunday and no sludge or stones were found on the images. The vet said likely a case of cystitis so prescribed a course of baytril (0.28mls) for two weeks and loxicom (0.28mls). I was also given probiotics to stop the poos going runny. I've been giving this since...

Hello! I have been off of here for a good amount of time, and I am sure many of you who remember me shall be relieved to find that I have been working a lot on my pet anxiety and thinking logically before getting all worried about an illness and whatnot. Unfortunately, I have come back for a...

Last night, I fed my 4 piggies their veggies. They got carrot, celery, cucumber, and green leaf lettuce- a cup of each vegetable. Luna seemed fine last night and she was standing on her back two legs and wheeking at me like normal and I'm pretty sure she was eating. After that, I went to sleep...

Ok so a while back I posted a thread when I had first had my pigs. Since then I've noticed Pamela has been showing symptoms of bloat, her pooping is normal but she will blow up like a balloon and get very agitated if I try to pick her up. She'll cry out and squint her eyes when I rub her belly...

My sister got two Guinea pigs for birthday last month. They are both females. She got them from I would call it a breeder. And I think they never ever been at vet in their life. Tily (the older one) is 6 months old and Kiwi (the smaller one) is 3 months old. I was told Tily had babies before...

Hi, My 2 month old female guinea pig, Maisy, is recently experiencing what I feel is a bloated stomach. She does not appear to be in any pain, is behaving totally normally, eating hay and drinking, pooping lots! However, I noticed she just appears to be a little bloated. Not sure what to do, I...

I'm currently in a situation where I can't take my guinea pig to the vet (it is 3am here and the vet opens in 6 hours). But my guinea pig has started not eating her veggies today, and now her stomach is moving extremely quickly, and almost looks like it is pulsating. She is not moving around...

Hello! Its been a while since ive been on here, but ive recently encountered a new possible problem with my girl penny. Penny has been known to be picky and refuse some of her veggies from time to time, but along with this the other day i noticed a weird sudden weight gain. She typically stays...

Hiya this is regarding my beloved Steve and I'm very very worried. I've only just lost Mo and I refuse to lose another guinea pig. So Steve, seemed fine like literally an hour ago. I actually had him out and cleaned his penis shaft from some smegma. Skip to half nine and I decided to clean them...

Good evening, my guinea pig had bloat (not 100 % sure, since gassy and bloat are very similar in my mother tongue) just recently and she hasn't recovered yet, but she's bloated again. I did the mistake and fed her with a syringe, quite violently, and now she doesn't want to eat at all. I've...

So I have 2 beautiful pigs, both over a year old and both female. The dominate girl, Muffin, has a descended stomach. It's been like this for a while and she hasn't acted any different (she's still active and eats and drinks just fine). What could it be? It feels hard-ish. Sorry the picture...

I’m a fairly seasoned guinea pig owner as I have now four guinea pigs, but am not familiar with bloat. I just got the fourth about two weeks ago, and she eating well and drinking lots. However, I noticed she was a little pear shaped and was wondering if it could possibly be bloat? I picked her...

Hi all So my little Jack has had bloat since before Christmas. It's been very unusual as it was happening over a 6-12 hour period of no poops, then lots of poops. He would still be eating during this and drinking. I took him to an out of hours emergency vet during the Christmas period which...

She’s 12 weeks old I’m not sure if she’s just pudgy or there’s something wrong she eats the same as her sister and her stomach seems normal. She’s still active and stuff maybe I’m just paranoid

So, I have had Shadow for over a year. Oreo and Shadow have never had problems with lettuce nor tomatoes. Today as I was changing their cage, I noticed Shadow looked extremely bloated, but Oreo did not. I have always fed them timothy hay, but today I ran out, and had to wait for my fiance to...

I took Monty to the vet yesterday for a CT scan to find out what was causing his mysterious "hooting" and wheezing noises when breathing. A few hours after coming home he clearly wasn't okay. I took him back again last night and they found he had gut stasis and some bloat from not eating...

Mimmi had quite a serious bloat in the end of October. I posted about it here: Bloat, Need Of Support! She got better from it and hasn't suffered from any bloats after that one. However, her health is not as good as I would like it to be. Her weight issues puzzle me. My question is that is this...
