Hi! Please excuse if I sound panicky during this, this just started happening today and I'm so scared for my little 4 year old baby. Her name is Candy, she started having a slight whistle to her breathing (which she's breathing normally, no wheezing) and has been a bit sneezy today (accompanied...

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 guys, another one of my paranoid thoughts with my piggies. My piggy Bear has had this nose whistle for a few months. (Video attached below) I can’t remember if he’s had it forever, because i just noticed it a few months ago. My hearing is bad so I’m not sure how long he really has had it...

My husband and I adopted 2 guinea pigs 2 weeks ago. Our daughter named them Chip and Chuck. 2 days after getting them my husband and I noticed a pretty gnarly scab on Chips back, we had no idea what it was, also Chip had been itching a lot. We brought them both to the vet today and it turns out...

Hello! I’ve recently adopted a young guinea pig. She is 1 or 2 months old. She eats well, and plays. When I first got her though, I noticed a darker looking patch of fur underneath her right ear. Now, a week later. The spot has no hair, and it looks rather dry/flaky. It is about the size of a...

Helloooo I’m wondering thoughts and I’m also probably going to vent/release stress too. After I had to have my beautiful Eddie put to sleep, I got another boy for my Teddie, call Errik. When I brought him home in November he clearly was right, as he kept sneezing and snorting. I took him to the...

I’m so so so sorry for yet another post and this being so long 😭 I just didn’t want to keep spamming the post I made yesterday because it’s possibly not relevant anymore. You all are a lot more experienced than me and knowing what to say to my vet is invaluable. So long story short yesterday my...

Hi everyone, my 6 1/2 year old boy Kip isn’t really interested in food right now. He ate a small bit of cucumber and apple and I gave him a few mls of cc but I’m concerned. I went for a nap around 11:30am this morning and overslept until 3pm because I forgot to set an alarm and he was absolutely...

Hey everyone I just adopted a new baby from my local animal shelter. I brought him home and let him get settled and once he was a little more relaxed I did a little check in to see if he was in good health or if I missed anything at the shelter. I noticed a slight smell around his mouth so I...

Hello Everyone, My guinea pig has been experiencing white eye discharge that he doesn't seem to clean when it happens and it causes him to shut his eye when it happens. It seems to be making him uncomfortable. I have took him to the vet and everything checked out to be in good health but the...

I’ve posted about my pig Bobby and his bladder stone here Does anyone know what this noise means? (I didn’t wanna keep adding to this thread incase nobody sees this) Today he’s not pooping normally, I’ve seen 2 poops in about 2 hours. Earlier there was maybe 5 huge poops in one go. He’s...

Hi everyone, my last post here was about one of my boys Bobby who seems to be having some health issues we can’t quite pin. Just wondering if anyone knows for sure what type of noise this is? I’m assuming it’s pain but since I could be wrong just want to double check. I only ever heard it before...

PLEASE HELP❤️❤️❤️ Hi I’m new to this page! So my piggie Ralph is 3 year old male and has always had a real personality! Very loving boy! I’ve come home from uni for Xmas and he’s lost a lot of weight so being the piggie mum I am I’ve ordered him new toys and supplements. He’s not lonely as he’s...

One of my three boys, Bobby, over the past couple days seems very subdued. For context my boys live happily together as neighbours because as soon as they’re let loose together they can’t stand eachother, so he has a c&c cage all to himself, and since I’ve had him just over a year he’s the...

Hi everyone i have attached a photo of my piggy Bear’s, foot. I don’t know if something is wrong or if his foot is just naturally red like that. He is very hard to pick up, he just now started trusting me by coming up to the cage to see me. I have never been able to really look at his feet. The...

A couple days ago I noticed my baby Ramen’s eye was looking weird and I looked all over the internet to try and find out what’s wrong with her but never found anything. :td: Her behavior hasn’t changed much and she still takes care of herself like before, but she hates it when I try to touch...

Hello! My piggie has a cyst in her ovaries that we have just discovered. It's easily sorted, the vet has advised she would just need to have a spay to stop it coming back. It gets pretty big and impacts her digestion and needs draining. My quote has come back as £687. I'm obviously going to...

I have 2 boys, had one for about 2 years(Approx 2yrs old), and one i recently picked up about 3 months ago(Approx 1yr old). Tried to bond them, seemed okay at first, then they started to get more aggressive, so we stopped. They have been living separated but close for most of their time...

it doesn’t smell like blood, more like pee but I just wanted to know what this could be. There’s brown spots everywhere.
