Heart thumping and very fast!

[Gilbert'sMommy]

Help, my precious piggie has a thumping heart, very worried! Left eye waters, thankfully he eats! Wheeze sometimes. Vet said lungs are clear and heart sounds strong! But something is very wrong w his heart jumping this past week!

I am sorry to hear this.
Please have your piggy seen by a vet as soon as possible.
Not all vets have experience with guinea pigs, so it is worth calling around to find an exotics specialist.

Also keep an eye on his weight.
If you have health concerns it is always worth switching to daily weighing at the same time.

Thank you kindly! Seeing a holistic vet in a few days!
