twitching

Hi everyone, I’ve noticed my 3 year old pig Sparkles has been having some strange head movements especially when he’s laying down resting. I took him to the vet this morning and they suspect it may be a neurological issue. They provided me with some neuro supplements for him but I’m still quite...

Tony, my Guinea Pig is limp and just twitching his head in different directions. What should I do?

Hello everyone, I have been an avid reader of this forum, making my first post today. My poor 3 year old guinea pig Bean, who’s been with me for a year now, has been going through several health issues - I’ve done vet visits for URI, and lately hematuria (blood in urine) and small mucous-y...

My little Lily is super sick, we went to the vet and it was said that she had a brain tumor and suggested euthanizing her was best. But we decided not too. She is basically paralized in half of her face. She drools on the left side of her mouth, can't breathe on left nostril, and has a severe...

I really need help with my Guinea pig he’s about a year and a half old. Previously he’s been paralysed and when I toon him to the vet they said they couldn’t see anything wrong with him. They even suggested putting him down. I put him on osteocare the vitamin and massaged his back legs everyday...

Hello, My guinea pig is always very active and running around. He gets very excited for his veggies and eats his hay and drinks his water. But this morning he looked sickly. He was not warm he was kinda cool. He also does not like to be picked up at all he always runs away and very hard to catch...

Hello all! I am very concerned about my pig, Mr. Stinky, and was hoping someone would be able to help. Yesterday I had to travel 7 hours because I’m moving back to school, and stinky came with me. He was in his carrier, which is a bit small for him now seeing as we got it a couple months ago...

My guinea pig has suddenly become very sluggish. She’s been hiding in her room all day, I decided to leave her alone but do my work next to the cage so I could check up on her. About 40 minutes ago her breath became heavier and I could hear a clicking sound. So I took out her room and had a look...

I’m a bit concerned about one of my boys. He seems to be very irritated and sensitive when stroked. Usually when I handle him he is ok for a little while but after 15 minutes or so if I try to touch him he really flinches and twitches. He is behaving like they do if they have mites but with no...

I got my first piggy (Nymeria) 5 days ago on my birthday and, even though she's a bit of a nervous one, everything has been fine. Yesterday, while buying things for her, I decided to get her a friend. The baby piggy is around 2 months old and was very calm at first. After I introduced her to...

Hi there, I'm really worried about my pig, ginger. She's not been herself for the past few days now. I took her straight to the vet when I suspected something wrong but I'm not convinced they're diagnosing the problem correctly. She seems dosy and very sleepy. She is sitting in one place...

Hello, Our young boy GP Bob is very poorly. He was limp with his head tilted on one side so we took him straight to the vet but tbh the vet was a bit baffled. He has had a Baytril antibiotic injection and is on oral antibiotics and critical care food via syringe. His back legs appeared totally...

So I'm sort of a new guinea pig owner. Ive had my little guy for a few months now and I'm LOVING it! But, he's been sick quite a bit. I had to get him checked up because he had the beginnings of a URI. (He's tons better now!) Although, he still twitches his head. Well, I've made him a nice...

Hi Guys, So me and the Guinea pigs have had a very stressful day. Archie was diagnosed with a URI and is now on antibiotics but today Han in the evening starting falling over, eye twitching and tilting his head to the right continuously. I was very worried as Han usually is running about...
