diarrhea

I have two guinea pigs, 1 is 1 and a half and the other is almost 4. When I got home to them today I noticed there was diarrhea but I'm still left with a lot of questions. There isn't a lot of diarrhea and the rest of the poops look pretty normal, and when I see my guinea pigs poop now their...

Our guinea pigs were accidentally given two avocado pits (which is very dangerous as avocados contain persin, a toxin that can make guinea pigs very sick or even kill them). Avocado pits have the highest concentration of persin. We removed the pits as soon as we realized, but there were already...

Hi! So my piggy, Pepe Le' Pew, has been ill for two weeks now. I noticed that he had stopped pooping and hadn't touched his food or water in about a day at first, I took him to a vet soon after and they told me he looked okay, took a fecal sample and tested it and he had no parasites or...

Hi, I'm posting regarding my 3.5yo guinea pig, Lazarus. He started to show symptoms about a month ago (loss of appetite, puffed up fur, lethargy, pooping less, crusty eyes). As soon as he started showing symptoms, I brought him to the vet. He did a course of Baytril for a URI and Terramycin eye...

Hello, this forum has helped me a lot with questions I had in the past about my boar's health so I made this account solely for this since I didn't finds anything specific so bear with me please. My 3 year old piggie Pepe started peeing with squeaking less than 2 months ago, short after I...

My 5 y/o boy surprised me with very soft, deformed stool this morning in clumps that are causing my whole room to smell foul. He is happy, eating, drinking, etc., however it’s Saturday and my vet cannot see him until monday. Unfortunately there is no emergency vet near me that sees guinea pigs—...

Hi there, I’m Michelle and I’m new here. I hope I can find some advice for my sweet Didi. She is about 5 years old female piggy. Over these 5 years I’ve had to deal with about 5/6 gas tummy’s how I call them. She doesn’t respond very well to different kind of veggies so I always stuck to...

Hi, Our little Pan, a crested guineapig, has had diarrhea since he was about 1. He's now 3. We have been to multiple vets, have had all tests done but nothing has shown up and we continue the same routine of taking him off greens. The vets at this stage have said we know our guineapig better...

Hello, I have two female piggies who get their usual veggies, hay, pellets, and water. However for a few days they were receiving new veggies and I got them a new carrot hay treat. Ever since then I have been seeing a few spots where it looks like one of them had diarrhea or soft pooped...

Please help! New GP mum and have health issues with my little guy. This is the storyline so far, to break things down. Sunday 15th August - I bought Zippy from a farm, and introduced him to his new home. Sunday - Wednesday - He was still new and I still didn’t see him drink or eat. He was...

Hello. I am the owner of 2 male guinea pigs. My one guinea pig, Gus, has been having stomach problems for about a month now. Symptoms: diarrhea and distention initially. Current symptoms: diarrhea, distention, weight loss (to the point where I can now feel his spine), dandruff, thinning fur, and...

Hi our Bobby (boar) has recently had ‘tear drop shaped’ poo - only for a day or two so thought we would keep an eye on and thought maybe it was introduction of the new herbs. Today he has really not been his usual self, quiet in his little house and not coming out or eating as much. I had him...

Hi friends, just want to share what is going on with my beautiful girl Pippa (in the pic) and know if anyone has gone trought the same, and what sort of outcome you had, as well as any advice. She is currently in the vets receiving treatment and I am counting the hours to pick her up and see how...

One of my boys has been having poo-related issues for several weeks now and I'm at a bit of a loss what to do! Just before Christmas, we noticed a couple of soft poos in the cage, so we eased off on the veggies and hoped it was just a one-off until on the Sunday night, I went to top up their...

Until recently I had two guinea pig extremely bonded boars housed together, though last weekend one of them suddenly fell ill. He lost a lot of weight very quickly, was hot to touch, making pained noises, and occasionally gasping in pain. We rushed him to the vet, and were given an extensive...

Hi I wish my first thread on here was more cheery but could do with some advice please. We got new babies on Tuesday afternoon (approx 9 weeks), one is a lot more confident & seems to have taken to life with us quicker. So much so he’s been gobbling up food and to be honest I think I’ve...

hello everyone :) I've just adopted a male piggy from the RSPCA, who was in a pretty poor condition when they rescued him. I've just picked him up from the place where he was being fostered and brought him home. He's been thourougly checked out by an exotic vet and has been neutered while at...

Hi, last Sunday Medi got a diarrhea. At that time she was on antibiotics for 3 weeks because of bladder problems. We got her off the antibiotics right away, got in contact with vet and read everything I could find on the forum. As long as she is only on the hay, some pellets and probiotics, she...

my guinea pig started to act weird about a day ago. He’s not as energetic. He has some wet poop on his bottom. He has eaten a few pieces of romaine lettuce and some peppers. He seems to be a little tense too. He is staying in one place. We fed him a little bit of water through a dropper. He...

Hello I just wanted to say thanks to this forum for making me aware of Protexin Profibre for dealing with Guinea stomach upsets...and in my case persistent diarrhea. I bought it and within a day my guinea was completely clear. And they like to eat it, so no need to syringe feed. I spoke to the...
