urgent

Pluto was puffed up last night and felt a bit bloated. I gave him massages and infant gas meds to help, which did. He keeps doing this weird thing and I finally got a video of it… any ideas on what this even is? How urgent is this? We just spent $750 at the vet yesterday for his sister, and our...

On Friday I noticed a hay poke in my Guinea pigs eye and it was late at night when I had noticed and no vets were open and if they were they didn’t take exotic animals. The next morning I woke up early and called around and all of the places were booked or extremely expensive and didn’t include...

To clarify, i'm a minor. and my parents are STRICTLY against going to a vet. she's had something like arthritis before, and both of her legs stopped working, and none of them wanted to bring her to a vet, but luckily she got through it without any problems. Although now, our family has taken...

My guinea pigs name is cheeseballs, and he is a few weeks away from being 4 years old. I took him out onto the couch today and noticed he fell while I wasn’t looking, and thought nothing of it. A few hours later and he is constantly loosing ballance, falling over, and leaning to the right. He is...

Hi friends, I am a first time pig mom and have fell in love with my pigs in ways that I can’t describe. Recently, my first pig I adopted took a visit to the vet. Let me disclose that this was supposed to be a wellness check, I had heard sporadic sneezing but never consistent and I just wanted...

So we recently took our boy (2 years 5 months) to the vet, and he had an operation to remove five bladder stones. Before this operation I assumed his food intake had gone down since he was doing small, thin poos instead of the regular sized ones. Anyway, we took him home from the operation and...

Hello, my Guinea pig (4 years old) recently about 5-7 hours ago got surgery on his cheek/below cheek, he had a small tumour that caused his teeth to vary in length making it difficult for him to eat. During the car ride home (we picked him up about 1 and a half hours ago) he was rubbing his...

Hey. I got my boy almost a year back when he was a baby. He was really malnourished and boney. I noticed a little discolouration in his right eye but I thought it was just the lighting. Today, it caught my attention again, and I took a proper look at his eye and saw it was a little cloudy at...

My guinea Juno (4yo) has recently been dealing on and off with a UTI for the past several months, but she suddenly started eating less and being less mobile, only eating a small amount of hay and veggies. She already had a checkup for her UTI but I felt her condition has been going on too long...

Hello, I would appreciate some help with my elderly female. For the past two or so weeks I have noticed that she hasn't quite been herself. She is usually a huge foodie, but I've noticed that she is not eating as much as normal. She is still wheeking for food and clambering at the cage to get...

She’s booked in at the vets in themorning. I can’t get her there any earlier. she’s been consistently losing weight over the past year and has been to the vets who said she seemed healthy. She now weighs 716g. For a 3 year old pig. If it goes down another 50-60g she’ll have lost half her body...

Hi there, just went to hold my skinny pig Stella, and noticed this weird mark/rash on her belly. It's a reddish circle with dry skin on it. I'm new to this form and don't know how to upload pictures so if someone could let me know how to do that it would be much appreciated. I'm seriously...

Hi! I recently adopted 2 guinea pigs. I got Ivy (1 month old) from a pet store, and rescued a 4 month old guinea pig named Hope about a month ago. They are both females. Hope was found left in her cage in a garbage can :( and no one knows what happened to her before that, but appears perfectly...

Hello, when I was holding my guinea pig I saw a piece of lifted fur up and decided to lift it up and saw this... have no idea what it is and it looks like some kind of Infection. At first I thought it was a scab but looking at it more closely it doesn’t look like a scab. I plan to take him to...
