hurt

Hi! My guinea pig fell on a sunday, on tuesday he started limping. I took him to the vet, she couldn't feel anything broken so she gave him 0.9ml of loxicom (Meloxicam) for 5 days. If he doesn't get better she would do the x-ray, etc. This morning (first day after the medicine) looked like he...

I came home from work today and suddenly my young boy Scooter has a VERY pronounced limp. He holds his front right foot off the ground no matter what, not putting any weight on it. I don't see any blood or torn fur, so its not an injury from his cage mate, but it still has me concerned... I've...

I have had two make guinea pigs (Bear and Conker) for over 2 years and they have never had any major issues. They have nipped at each others ears before but never drawn blood. Earlier today they got into a bit of a scramble over a raspberry as they both wanted it, neither of them got hurt...

Basically, I was holding my guinea pig then I got squirted with water (unintentionally) and the pig jumped from my arms and landed on the floor, she ran and then I picked her back up and examined her and she seemed fine, just shocked. I then carried her out back to the cage and when I got near...

So like a day ago I noticed what looked like dried poo on my guinea pigs nose. I tried to wipe it off but he kept moving and it wouldn't really come off. Today morning I saw that he had this red swipe above his nose. Could this be a scratch from maybe him trying to clean himself? the first...

My twin took his guinea pig out to show his girlfriend, but when he went to return him to his cage, he jumped out of my brother's hands and fell on his shoe. My brother said his legs were twitching a bit when he fell, but when he gave me the piggy, he seemed fine, just shaken. His legs seemed to...

My youngest guinea pig seemed to have hurt his front leg. I tried looking at it and it doesn't look swollen or have any scratches, but he keeps holding it when he walks. I'm pretty sure my oldest guinea pig did it to him (they are only a month apart but my youngest is the runt of the group). He...

I accidentally cut one of my pigs claws too short.. She jerked as I clipped and I think it took off a part of her toe. It bled so much but I rushed to the bathroom and clotted the blood with cornstarch. I feel terrible and physically sick that I did that to her... How do I make her feel better...

I have two piggies that are blood brothers and they are over a year old. Today I noticed them fighting and while cleaning their room I noticed a huge cut on the back of one of them. The one who got the cut was the one who was trying to run away from the other one. I have absolutely no idea what...

Hello guinea pig lovers, I am in an urgent need of help. My guinea pigs were outside and roaming freely in my yard, as they always are on nice days. After they had 5 hours of play time I decided to go out and find them and bring them inside so they could eat. One of my guinea pigs was out of her...
