infection

Hi there, My three little piggies that I brought home last Monday haven't been doing too great (we think they may have had this before we got them as they were showing symptoms then as well - milder though). They've all been sneezing and coughing quite a lot, as well as scratching - the...

Hi all! This is my first post here. So I just had my guinea pigs boarded when I went away and they did a courtesy nail trim, and cut Daisy's nail too short- down to the toe :( (which I understand happens as I've done it myself) I took her back to get checked out and the vet told me to just...

My piggie has recently been diagnosed with Upper Resporiatory infection and I took him to the vets and was on medication for 1 week, he had a check back after 5 days and the vet said he was fine but just needed to eat watery vegetables as he stopped drinking water. Other than that he was fine...

Hi all, one of our Guinea pigs has a small lump and a small bald patch on her left ear. We also find a large bald red patch behind her left ear. Is this a sign of fungal or mite infection? Or is it something else?

The other day i notice that my little piggy started smelling very bad however i didn't think anything of it and the time. It was only the next day I took a look in the bottom area to see the there was white gunky/goowy stuff around and on her genitals. I'm not too sure if it is causing her pain...

I've noticed my Guinea pig Daisy has a flaky, white patch on both ears. There both only small but One ear has a slightly bigger patch then the other. I only just noticed it now and I'm not sure if it's a fungal infection or dry skin. She is still eating,drinking,weeing and pooping but I'm not...

Hello everyone! I'm new to this site and GP's so any advice is appreciated and if I'm doing anything wrong let me know! Yesterday me and my partner bought a child's paddling pool for our two boys to run around in as we thought this would be easier than a run which makes it a little tougher to...
