vet

Hi everyone, I picked my boy up tonight and he feels and looks rounder at his stomach. I’ve listened to his stomach and it’s bubbling and gurgling a lot more than his brothers and his usual sound. He is still eating and drinking, Popcorning and moving but I am so worried about him. I can not...

Hi all, picking up my first Guinea pigs in a few weeks and looking for a local vets to register with. I’m near Newbury, Berkshire. Have read I should find an exotics vet. Does anyone have any recommendations please?

Hello, my female Guinea pig has just weed this bright red urine. She hasn’t eaten anything which I think could have caused it to become this colour. She does seem in some discomfort but no squeaking or anything that I have noticed. She is eating and moving around. She has also jsut had quite a...

and he was the bravest boy! Reggie weighs in at 1.11g 🥹 the vet seemed surprised at how clean and healthy he is. It’s so validating having a vet tell you your babies are perfect, especially when you have a lot of anxiety around whether or not you’re doing enough for them, feeding them the right...

My guinea pig has been poorly for a week and a half now. Please see the timeline below. What do you think? We are aware seeing an exotics vet would be best but they are very few and far between where we live so we’re looking for some opinions online in the meantime before we can get him to one...

Hello, I used to be part of this forum when I first adopted 2 male boars several years ago fast forward to now we have had 4 in total (all rescues) and now have 1 boar left. We decided not to get further Guinea pigs as our situation has changed and so after Diego died a year ago we have been...

Hi, we noticed our GP Daisy has lost considerable weight. We thought she was just staying in her house and not running out for food, but we think she likely hasn’t eaten for a while. She seems desperate to eat but just can’t seem to open her mouth?. Gave her some dandelions which she loves...

Hi guys, Long time no see and Happy New Year! I just want to start by saying I have contacted Cat and Rabbit Clinic for an appointment. Waiting to hear back. And my colleagues at my veterinary practice have given me some eye drops to keep it comfortable. Anyway, Stitch my youngest boys is...

Hi it's been a bit I've talked to a vet and they said that Manny's foot is at the very beginning of pododermatitis. For now I need to keep an eye on him, make sure he gets his vitamins and try to get him from sleeping in his litterbox. I just rearranged their cage so he wouldn't be tempted...

he’s doing so much better. eating more, being more active, poops are going back to normal and he doesn’t go into seizures anymore 🥳 so happy for him and glad i got him xx he’s in much better hands now.

Hi all, hope everyone is well! Firstly I'm wondering if anyone has had recent experience of the small animal vet who works at Ayres Vets in North Shields? I've been with Judith Brown who is a beloved, amazing piggy vet for 5 years now, unfortunately due to surgery's price hikes I am having to...

Title. I pulled her out of the cage for some floor time. I didn't have a good enough grip on her and she got excited and jumped out of my hands before I could put her down. It wasn't that far of a fall and she seemed fine. So, I didn't think to check her mouth. When I fed her a crunchy treat, I...

Hey everyone, This Wednesday just gone, I decided my piggy Margie needed a bum bath and when drying her off afterwards, I noticed a lump in her lower abdomen. It’s slightly to her right around the area where her bladder is. I would say it’s slightly bigger than the size of a garden pea and...

Hi piggie friends. We've recently moved house from London and I'm trying to find a more local vet to our new home (near Haywards Heath RH17). My boys are currently registered with CJ Hall in London but I don't fancy 2 hour round trips for every required check-up. Piglet has interstitial cystitis...

Hi all! I have a 5.5 year old pig who has recently had an issue with her teeth - they got a little long and one of her top incisors is growing at an angle which will either hit her bottom ones or slot behind them. She went off her food for a couple of days and that's when we noticed. She has...

Hi just adopted my piggie Cosmo only 2 days ago. Since he got home he’s been scratching and biting himself. I thought it was mites so I treated with ivermectin, small improvement but still itching. Now, he’s given out discharge through his nose, refusing to eat much, very lethargic and laying...

Hi, my guineapig has an abscess in his mouth. He tries to eat but get hurt and give up. He still eats his pellet tho. I can’t make him eat vegetables or hay :( I took him to the vet and he started taking antibiotics and painkillers. It’s his 3rd day on antibiotics today. He still is having...

Hi everyone, i have a 1 year old baby girl named chestnut whomst I'm a bit worried about right now. This night i heard her make a whiny noise while trying to pee and got a bit worried and then later on, my sister saw the same thing. i’ve been at uni all day so i haven’t been able to see her...

Hi, Can anyone recommend a vet in East London that treats Guinea pigs regularly? Thanks!

Hello everyone, I have had some problems with my 1 year old guinea pigs. A while ago they started to itch and soon after they has scabs that bleed, and they wheek when touched. One of our guinea pigs with these symptoms passed away a few weeks ago, and these symptoms have started on my other two...
