You should definitely adopt her a friend. That being said, welcome and we'd love to see pictures of her :)

Naw, I'm sorry to her your girl is sick. What does she have? What did the vet subscribe for her?

Welcome! Great job on getting a C&C cage. :)

she has a eye ulcer in her right eye so the vet gave us some eye cream/drops to try help it and also I thought she might have diabetes or some kidney problem or UTI because she keeps drinking and eating a lot and peeing a lot as well so we had a urine test done and she didn't have any glucose in her pee so she hasn't got diabetes which is good and she had no blood either. The vet said she had some protein and small crystals but apparently rabbits and guinea pigs have a higher protein level in their urine and that the crystals were really small and its normal for a guinea pig of her age so i don't know whats wrong with her really. Just going to keep an eye on her and thanks i can't wait till i get my cage, its a 2x5 :)

Hey :) i hope your guinea gets better! Just keep an eye as I heard you saying her friend died, I have had a few pigs that after their friend dies they go down hill and get depressed so make sure you give her lots of hugs. I know it sounds weird but I have had a guinea that died after her 2 sisters and mum died and I genuinely believe it was from a broken heart. So give your piggy lots of hugs and kisses :). Xxx

Welcome! I am sorry to hear she is sick, guinea pigs go down hill fast. My older pig Treenie has been struggling with her foot for a while. She gets better then it will get worse, so we just have to keep her comfortable and wait it out. She doesn't show any signs of pain or distress other than when Penolope decides to be a bully! Sorry for the rant. I'm going to be getting a C&C cage too. Your pig is so cute! Can't wait to see more pics of her and her pal when you decide the time is right.
