weight loss

I just got back from a 1 week vacation and my female guinea pig Toby seems to have lost weight. I have never weighed her before but she is noticeably thinner and lighter. My next door neighbor cam over everyday and changed the water and filled the hay and pellets if needed. My other guinea pig...

Please help us with any ideas you may have. My boyfriend and I have always had 4 guinea pigs. They are separated with 2 in one cage and 2 in the other. A year ago one of our guineas suddenly passed overnight. She had experienced bouts of diarrhea and had lost weight. We had taken her to the vet...

I am new to this forum but I have an odd issue with one of my little girls, she started with her weight at an average of 800g andd lost about 10-30g a day for a bit until she got to 500g which is her current average but it seemed to happen overnight in the beginning she was almost a sort of...

Hi, my girlfriend and I are rather desperate with our 2.5-year-old Monty, who's been feeling unwell for the past 2-3 months. Right now he's only eating very little (having lost almost 100g in the past week), we have to force-feed him instant hay (RodiCare) and hand-feed him vegetables and fruit...

I'm really hoping someone can help with this. My little Bentley has been losing weight quickly over the last week or so. I thought it was because we had introduced a new pair of piggies and he was just acting up. Checked his teeth the other day and one was chipped and the other looked way to...

Hey all. So I posted about my little Daisy making wheezing noises a few weeks ago. It seems it was behavioural after all and she's stopped. She now seems to have lost weight, bony spine etc. We're weighing her. She's been pulling fur our a little from her tummy and I'm worried now she might...

Okay so when I first got my girls about a year ago I used to weigh them weekly, but after months of staying the same I stopped (I realise now I shouldn't have) Around October time Beans, who is roughly 2-3 years old ( not sure exactly as they're rescues) weighed 1160 grams. Toast, who is...

Hi everyone, I'm so sad to have to post this but I don't know what else to do for my girl Nym. She is four years old and has always been a small pig, 750-800 grams well weight but she dropped quickly to 650g and was coughing when she ate and started slobbering. Straight to the vets and diagnosed...
