Hi everyone, My 7.5-year-old guinea pig has developed as strange-looking incisor - it is like there is an extra sliver of tooth coming off the front of the right incisor. I've attached a photo. I'm planning to have it looked at by a vet but was wondering if anyone has had experience with this...

Hello, this is going to sound really bad and like a ‘please help the sweet baby cross the rainbow bridge right away’ scenario. However, miraculously she has been doing ‘great’ and appears to be enjoying life - just wanted to start off on that note. The main question I have ***** is it...

Hello :(! On my previous post, my piggie Ruby has chipped her tooth. Luckily, her tooth grew back by the time I took her to the vet and now she’s fine. The vet did trim the tooth a little, and Ruby screamed (literally, not squealed, she SCREAMED). I kind of don’t want put Athena on the same...

Hello! I was doing a health check on my piggies, and I found that Ruby broke her tooth! I’ve seen cases that piggies break their teeth & they grow back on their own. But Ruby almost broke her entire tooth :(. Her vet isn’t open today, & the soonest I can bring her in is probably Thursday. She’s...

Hello A while ago my guinea pig Alvin lost his bottom incisors and over time his top ones grew so he had a dental.

The rescue has a great, established reputation and Harley was vet checked and cleared for adoption. She is very skinny. I can feel her ribs, pelvic bone and she's got skinny...

I don't know where else to turn for advice on my guinea pig. Sorry this is so long, but I want to include the whole story and I'm terrible at being brief :/ TL;DR - 7-year-old guinea pig with tooth abscess that won't heal. Lance and drain for the 3rd time or insert surgical drain? Caramel is 7...

I noticed that one cage had slighly lose stools for months but I thought it was Rebecca and took her to the vet to find it was a UTI. I separated her from her cage mate, Benji, for 3 days to see who was doing the stools but they both seemed normal so I put them back. The loose stools came back...

my Guinea pig pickles has somehow managed to chip his tooth, I don't think he's in pain, as he is still trying his hardest to eat, and he squeaks like mad near enough all the time, he can still eat his veggies if I break them up to be small, I'm not sure what he chipped his tooth on, but I'm...
