  Not Ranked. Helpful AND tactful post? : 0 Re: Guinea Pig Misconceptions (To be Merged) | |
If a Guinea Pig gets sick, their is nothing that can be done to help it get better.
or, A sick pig with a cold should get better on its own. FALSE Guinea pigs do not get "colds". They get Upper Respiratory Infections (URI's) and Pneumonia. Ill Guinea Pigs rarely get better on their own, however; bringing your Guinea Pig to a "Cavy Savvy" vet at the first sign of illness is a sure way of seeing your four legged friend get better. Learn and know the signs of illness listed in the GuineaLynx Medical Care Guide. It could mean the difference between life and death in your guinea pig. http://www.guinealynx.info/emergency.html Quick action needs to be taken as they can and usually do go down hill very quickly. Do not wait if your Guinea Pig is showing signs of illness, indeed, be proactive by finding a good vet before you need one.
