If you use epsom salts, be very careful not to let the pig ingest any of it, and rinse and dry the feet carefully after you're done. An upside down bottle cap makes a good piggy foot bath.

It's definitely not ringworm, and it's almost certainly not mites. Do they scratch a lot?

That hair loss pattern is classic for ovarian cysts, and they do need a vet visit.

Does it do this on other sites or just on GPC?

If only on GPC, the only other thing I can think of to check is whether you've enlarged the display. If you can put your finger on it and slide it...

Mine's an Android.

What app do you use to view this site?

I'd close everything possible, delete that app and reinstall it, and then try again.

It's not likely to be problems with this...

I'm sorry he's having such problems.

The guinea pigs I know of who've had eye removal have all done well. I'm hoping for the same for Chippy.

Probably more than you can afford vet care for. Theoretically you can put 8-10 pigs in there, but that can be a very expensive proposition.

Also, I do hope that's an inside enclosure, as pigs...

It's fine on my phone.

I don't think there's any way to know what will happen if they're kept in the same room. It may all be fine. The scent of other pigs may upset the apple cart in both cages. Or something in...

I get display problems when I have too many tabs open. Open your browser and see how many windows you've got open. It's easy to minimize them without closing them, and that can eventually cause...

I can't find anything about what Kaytee uses in it for odor control. Some things are toxic to small animals, so I wouldn't use it until I knew what was in it. You could email customer support at...

If the antibiotic is effective, the pig shouldn't be contagious after about 48 hours on it. The question is, is it effective? And there's not really any way to know that if the pig isn't getting...

namida, we do not recommend that people buy from pet stores under any circumstances. Most guinea pigs sold in stores are bred and raised in horrible conditions. No effort is made to keep track of...

I'm so sorry.

Classic sign of something wrong with his back teeth. See an exotic vet with dental experience.

I had seven over a period of about eight years.

Nebulizing plain saline can help in some situations but not in others. It's not apt to hurt anything, but it may not help, either.

I had nothing but sows, and I only had one with ovarian cysts. I chose not to spay even her -- we treated her with hormones.

The fact that they're related probably won't affect anything one way or the other. You'll have to reintroduce them as if they've never met.

Puberty is another question altogether. They'll...

No, and that's one of the reasons it can even be given to guinea pigs. Anything nebulized goes directly into the lungs. If any of it ever makes it into the digestive tract, it would be as a...

It's one of the big guns in the antibiotic world. It can be used for several things, but it's not usually given for routine things because it is hard on the GI tract.

F10's not an antibiotic, it's a disinfectant. Like bleach, except presumably not as harsh. It is nebulized for snakes, but I've never heard of it being done for a guinea pig. I'm not sure I'd want...

That's better, but that's still way too much corn. Corn these days has a tremendous amount of sugar, and I never fed mine any more than a few kernels. The silks and husks, however, are good for...

Welcome to the forum. But please don't buy from a pet store. If you have trouble locating pigs in your area, we may be able to help you.

And here's something to get you started:...

Fresh corn, carrots and oranges are an awful lot of sugar for a guinea pig. And sugar can upset the digestive tract because it affects the balance of good and bad bacteria.

I would take him off...

3.5 what? Years or pounds?

Bladder stones may or may not move. They can be attached to the bladder wall and not move at all. If not attached, then they may move.

Bloat doesn't necessarily...
