Hi all,
I am a new Guinea Pig Owner. My first Guinea Pig was purchased 7/2013 and is a female. Her name is Sophie Marie. She is very sweet, adventurous and mischevious. When I purchased her, I had a gut feeling something wasn't right. Sneezing, loss of energy etc. I took her to the vet and found out she had a Upper Respiratory Infection. They issued antibiotics and seemed all was well. Fast forward to today, I was browsing the pet store I purchased Sophie from and they had a gorgeous little girl in the case. Tan/White and soooo sweet. I couldn't leave her. I named her Daisy Belle and she is now home where she belongs. BUT, I think they are sick
Sophie was playing in her pen and wee'd on the floor. But it almost came out like a " bubble " and slowly soaked into the towel. Her cage is especially stinky lately, like mildew almost but I am so careful with cleaning it etc, I am concerned she may be sick? Her appetite/energy/amount she wee's and poo's seems normal.. Am I just over reacting?
Daisy Belle came home, she doesn't have much energy at all. She sleeps a lot, but seems like her appetite is okay. She has a crusty nose and boogies in her eyes though. Allergies/Sick? I don't want to miss any warning signs, these guinea pigs are my children and are very close to me. I really need advice.
Thank you in advance!
Sophie and Daisy's mommy!
