    Guinea Pig's Eye Problem. (Please Help me!)

    I have the same issue with the vet, and I just wanted to let you know the saline solution worked wonders. She got it once a day three times in the eye for three days and now her eye is pretty much better. Because the vet doesn't seem like an option for you, definitely just continue the saline...

    Guinea Pig's Eye Problem. (Please Help me!)

    I just wanted to let you know the saline solution worked surprisingly well for me, as her eye is beginning to look much better. She did wind up with more gunk that I had to wipe from her eye, but that's natural as her eye attempts to go back to normal, as with most other eyes. I also want to...

    Guinea Pig's Eye Problem. (Please Help me!)

    Yeah, saline solution is just a sterile mixture of water and salt, and it's just being used in this case to help mainly with discomfort and cleansing the eye as it essentially moisturizes and cleanses. If it's an allergy, it'll just help her eye feel less awful, but if there is something in...

    Guinea Pig's Eye Problem. (Please Help me!)

    We couldn't go to the vet today since they are closed Thursdays, but I do have some useful info for you, and I will update tomorrow whether she's better after what we've done, or what happens if her eye is still bad and we visit the vet. I don't have pictures as this only happened a few hours...

    Guinea Pig's Eye Problem. (Please Help me!)

    The same thing is actually happening to my baby Dandelion (pictures attached for comparison). I noticed this yesterday afternoon at about 6:30pm (it's 4:30 now), but we couldn't go to a vet since they close at 7:00. She is going today hopefully, but we've been researching this and I just want...

    My three babies

    My name is Lydia and I am a proud mother of three lovely little ladies! Florence, the first guinea pig, was adopted about a month ago. She's a tiny and adventurous Abyssinian, and she is by far the most adventurous of the group! She loves cuddling against my chest, but she doesn't like being...

    Sounds Weird squeaking noise coming from one of my cavies

    I woke up at three in the morning to a squeaking noise comin from one of my guinea pigs. It was from my baby Florence, who I have had for a month. It kind of sounded like wet boots on tile? I have a video, but my phone won't upload it and it's pitch black. She stopped as soon as I got up from...

    Bonding Will two old friends get along well?

    So I got my guinea pig Florence about a week and a half ago, and at the time I wanted to adopt her cage mate, who she got along with well. Florence is a really small, young guinea pig, while the other appeared to be an adult. They were both female. Unfortunately, at the time I adopted Florence...

    Introductions How can I introduce two guinea pigs that know each other?

    When I adopted my first guinea pig, Florence, five days ago, she was living with another older female guinea pig. From what we could see, the two got along well. Unfortunately, I was unable to adopt her friend at the time, but I will be able to go back and get her in a week (she has a cold so I...
