i have a guinea pig named Dove he had very bad mites, and was also having seizures. He’s finished his ivermectin treatment and is feeling much better, he has no sores and his fur is growing back also no seizures. When is he able to go back to my other guinea pigs? Here is a before and after pic:

Hi! So my female Guinea pig Avi just got spayed and it’s been about 7 days with everything going well. We check her incision 2x a day, and today we noticed more new blood, I put the flash to it and it looked like a surface wound that she got from taking off a scab. It worries me and I’d like to...

hi! so i wanted to get something for my piggies to ensure they are warm! though i am wondering if these are fully safe for my piggies! i am planning to put the heating pads under their fleeces or bedding so they can’t chew it, my piggies don’t chew their stuff anyways, but i’m also wondering...
