Worming?

Hi everyone I'm wondering do we worm our guinea pig or we don't.

I’ve never heard of worming a piggy. It’s very rare. But if they do get worms then there are treatments available. Do you have a piggy with worms?

Piggies do not need worming unless they have had a stool sample analysed to show they have worms. Unless your vet has diagnosed worms please do not give any worming treatment at all.

It's not impossible I suppose, but it's not something we see in the UK. For cats, dogs and kids(!) worms are pretty common - but never a piggy!
