gut stasis

Hey everyone, I noticed yesterday that one of my boys Fred had some poops with a little tail, and then today when I woke up he had done a few poos like the pictures I’ve attached, clumpy-looking. Most of his poos are normal, maybe a bit smaller than usual (second picture). I have a vet...

Hello! I'm new to this site, so apologises if I'm a bit slow 😓 I'm panicking a lot and tried getting advice on reddit, but there wasn't much help, so I decided to post here! I have a solo guinea pig that's about 4 year old. I adopted her 2 years ago. She's been neglected in her last home...

I just took my guinea pig to the emergency vet because she was wobbling around yesterday and then was unable to move her legs this morning. She was eating and drinking well, however, she was diagnosed with GI stasis at the vet. Something that doesn’t make sense to my vet and I is that she was...

Hi everyone , my 2 year old female guinea pig went to the vets on Sunday as she wasn't eating , she was diagnosed with gut stasis and given an injection to stimulate her gut, pain medication and some critical care. It's been two days of force feeding her and she has shown no improvement. She has...

Hi guys. Sorry in advance for the long post. Long time reader. So I'm a newer guinea pig owner, my boyfriend had 2, and when I came into the fold, we got one together. We have Guts, Bert, and Judo. Admittedly, I knew very little about guinea pigs and trusted my boyfriend to handle most of it...

Hello everyone, I have been an avid reader of this forum, making my first post today. My poor 3 year old guinea pig Bean, who’s been with me for a year now, has been going through several health issues - I’ve done vet visits for URI, and lately hematuria (blood in urine) and small mucous-y...

My little guy Georgie who is in between a year and a half and 2 years old is soooo not feeling well. I woke in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and I always speak to him when I pass his cage and he speaks back. Every time. This time he didn’t and I noticed he didn’t seem to want to...

This is my first post and is quite long as everything has been a bit of a saga recently! Massively high levels of stress and upset at home, but I'm feeling optimistic about my boy's recovery. I thought it would be helpful to get some advice/guidance as this forum has been so helpful to me, but...

Hi all, So my lovely young piggy Holly is producing this bright yellow and orange pee this morning. I saw some orange and very dark brown stains in their hutch this morning so I put them in an enclosure on just puppy pads to see who it was, and it's Holly. ☹️. The pee is coming out this...

Crumble aka Briwsioni worrying us this morning, as he was listless and not eating (absolutely fine last night and Sunday's wheekly weigh in). Out with the syringe food and a hastily arranged trip to the vets. He's on Cisapride 5mg 0.1ml every 8 hours for 5 days and Buprenorphine 0.88mg/ml...

Dwight has had a rough 48 hours - we the morning before last that he hadn’t done a poo overnight, which was very very odd for him because he’s usually a greedy messy boy. After observing for a few hours, we noticed that he was quite tired and cuddly, whereas usually he’s feisty and doesn’t like...

Hi everyone Please could I have someones advice on my piggy and what I should do? I took my piggy to the vet as he wasn't eating. He got diagnosed with gut stasis and was advised to keep him for 24hours, so he was kept in and treated for the 24hours. We got him back fed him as normal and gave...

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...

Hi, last week my guinea pig had a very wheezy chest and was breathing irregularly and so we took her to the vets to be treated for a URI. The vet gave her a week long course of antibiotics which we completed at the weekend. We were not prescribed antibiotics and she had diarrhoea for a couple...

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...
