Booger/Pus in guinea pigs ear

[lydvn]

One of my guinea pigs has been scratching her ear more than usual and shaking her head a lot. I checked her ear and there is a white looking booger thing at the very bottom in there and I am not sure if this is an ear infection or and emergency? Is there any way I can make this better for her? The vet isn’t open until monday and we just want to do the best we can with what we have.

It is best to just go straight to the vet. We do not recommend messing about with ears yourself as you can so easily do more harm than good

I’m sorry your piggy is poorly. These things always seem to flare up at the weekends. I hope she is ok. Definitely call first thing on Monday.

We took her to the ER vet after a quick decline at 2am. We decided to put her down after finding out about her having both an ear infection and stones. She was in too much pain and we couldn’t see her suffer any longer. I am heartbroken.
