worried

Hi I have a new guinea pig, he is four months old but the family he belonged to needed to get rid of him as they have yappy dogs. They said there isn't anything wrong with him and he's a happy guy and he is but I noticed from first having him that he's quite sneezy and when I looked it up I got...

This is my first time having a guinea pig so I want to make sure everything is okay. I just got my guinea pig 5 days ago and she lays down a lot like A LOT very lazy. She eats, drinks, and acts like everything's normal. When she lays down she lay's on her stomach with her back legs stuck out to...

Hello everyone! About a month ago, my guinea pig Caesar started peeing a pinking red color and squeaked while urinating. I took him to the vet and they found a pretty good sized bladder stone. She prescribed him some antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory. Last week, she special ordered him...

So, not sure where to put this, BUT... Well. Last time they had a checkup they went to Pets1st. But I'm not sure how cavy knowledgable they are, and in an emergency I want to make sure our boys will be in good hands. I've tried the vet locator but, well, I'm not sure any of them are very close...

Hello, last week I found on my Piggie Marshall I noticed a small patch of hair above his nose was dry and stuck together, I looked it up on line and i couldn't find anything , but today as I picked him up the dried hair was hanging of his nose and fell off and underneath was a tiny red sore? His...

My piggie Marshall has got a bit of crusty fur above his nose and seems to be sneezing a lot, when I listen to his breathing he does seem a bit wheezy, should I be worried and take him to a vet ? Or is it fine ? I'm quite new to this as I've only had my two boys a year today and they have never...

I've had my boys a few months now, and ugh, I got them from a pet store:(but of course, will get from a shelter in future, and they seem perfectly healthy, but I just want to know SO MUCH, am I doing okay? So They live in a 2x4 C&C cage with a 1x2 loft and fleece bedding from...

I'm just looking for advice and opinions about teeth trimming under sedation/GA as Toast will be going through this on Friday as she is now dropping pellets and sometimes chewing to one side. I posted yesterday about Toast's new health issues (Possible Diabetes/kidney Failure & Overgrown...

Hi, I am a new guinea pig owner, have had my newest furry friend for just over a month now. I've noticed some odd behaviour. I have a young Abyssinian boar, who's name is Keiko. Keiko always seems to tilt his head up, as if he's craning to look at the ceiling, though theres nothing interesting...

I had the pigs at the vet tonight because Toast has put on quite a lot of weight over the space of 2 weeks, despite absolutely no changes of their diet, I've not fed them more or anything new so there's no obvious reason to put on weight. I always watch them eat and finish their veg and there's...

Hi there. I wonder if anyone could help me at all. Two weeks ago I bought two GPs', both boys which were 'hutch mates'. To start with the boys were really friendly and the big one looked after the little one. However, they both will never come out of their hut unless they think I am not in...

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...

Okay so I was just sitting watching Toast eat her pellets (I have a sad life:lose:) and she started to choke on one... my heart sunk because I realised I wouldn't have a clue how to help her. Luckily she wasn't choking she just had a bit stuck in her teeth, but I still panicked because I'd be...

Hello! I recently posted about my two girls and discovered that they have lice. They have seen a vet who couldn't find any lice but I was sure I had seen a couple so they both had a shot of ivermectin and he said to return in one week. That was on Saturday and my girls seem to be even more...
