    Hi all! I have had my sweet boys for about a year. So far, they are doing great--I have taken them to the vet once about six months ago and they got a clean bill of health.

    Sneezing pig, should I change beddings?

    Hello! I’ve had my piggies for about 1,5 month, and they have been sneezing regularly during this time. Not really excessively but in total I hear them sneeze around 10 times a day (though this is combined, not per guinea pig). When this started I called the vet and they said it was most likely...

A few weeks later, we adopted a baby sow as a companion for our older sow, Nancy. We got the baby sow from a local rescue in Peterborough called PinnyGigs (which...

    My piggy is 3 years old. She had pneumonia before a year ago. When she had it you could hear her breathing loudly. Her breathing sounds good and I can’t hear any rattling.

    Why does My guinea pig have crusty eyes?

    Our eldest piggie Hazel has a little crust in one eye not too bad, just a little. She's never had this before so I thought that was weird, She's about 3 years old so I don't know if this is because she's aging. I also noticed that she sneezed a few times (which she always does), but she's still...

    Liquid from nose

    Hi. Basically, yesterday I noticed for the first time that one of my guinea pig's (Pumpkin) nostril (just one I am pretty sure) had this white mucus-looking liquid inside. It would appear in her nostril every time she breathed out, and a little crust of it seemed to be on the outside. I kept an...
