I definitely didn’t introduce them properly the first time, but the other times I watched many tutorials and did it properly. I don’t think the cage size is a problem, it’s roughly 45 by 95 inches and only has three Guinea pigs including Hazel in a section of it. Do you think it’s possible for...

I have a Guinea pig named Hazel who is around 3ish years old. She is also a female which is quite weird considering how aggressive she is. I got her a few years ago when I was 13 from a pet store. (I would never do that now, at the time I didn’t know much about where to get Guinea pigs and...

The coconut oil I have been using is cold pressed, but it still hasn’t been super helpful. I’ve tried using epsom salt + water but I’ve only managed to do this twice because she is so squirmy and won’t let me soak her feet for longer than a minute. Even though I’ve only used it twice, it seems...

I’m so glad I shouldn’t be super worried! Her behaviour is completely normal and she has a big appetite again so I don’t think she will continue to lose much more weight. I thought that if she ever lost 100 grams in total, even over a month or two, then I would need to take her to an emergency...

I think the vet is mainly a small animal one, but is very experienced with rabbits. On their website, they mention many types of exotic animals including rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, hedgehogs, gerbils, hamsters, and chinchillas. Muffin’s weight is still dropping, even though she is...

I was looking at some old posts about anything similar to this and I came across this one that seems exactly the same with what is happen right now with Muffin: https://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/threads/69039-HELP-SEVERE-DIARRHEA-mushys-poops The only thing that’s different is that Muffin’s...

Sorry if I wasn’t making much sense, but she doesn’t for sure have a tumour and she could just have an infection or something. The only test that was done was where they test the poo and there won’t be any results until 3-5 days from now which was why he gave her all that stuff I think. I’m just...

I got back from the vet a few hours ago and the blood is for sure coming from her intestines. He said she could either have some sort of serious infection, or a tumour:( He prescribed her quite a lot of things so I will list them below: 1. 0.5 ml of probiotics every 24 hours until it runs out 2...

During the night, I woke up several times thinking I heard Muffin drinking. I have two other guinea pigs, and somehow they all drink out of a water bottle differently but I could have also been trying to convince myself that she was okay. Then, when I checked on them, Muffin WAS drinking water...

I think she’s gotten a bit worse:( I had her in my lap on one of those puppy pads so I could see if her pee was red when she became hunched over, sort of squealed, and her ears moved. This happened a few more times when I realized she was trying to poop. Her poops were weird, large, and uneven...

I just took her out of her cage to give her some water and I noticed there was blood on her bum. She is also vibrating which she hasn’t done in a long time so I think she is in pain. When I went to the vet with her a little while ago, she squealed when getting her temperature taken. This...

I think my guinea pig might be going through the exact same thing! She won’t drink water on her own and I have no idea why. She will only drink a TINY bit when eating some pellets. The vet said it was probably a UTI because she did pee blood, but she still isn’t drinking anything after being...

She’s doing a lot better! I think she sneezed/coughed a few more times while I was at school and now she is pretty much back to normal. I am still a little concerned about two things though: 1. About two/three days after coming home from the vet and giving her her medicine, her pee was super...

I was just giving Muffin some water when I think she inhaled some and started coughing. Now her breathing is crackly and I don’t know what I can do. I think I fed it to her too fast. Will this for sure give her pneumonia?!? Will she cough all of it out? I don’t think it was that much water and...

The exact medication she is getting is 0.15ml of M-eloxin every 24 hours for 5 days, and 0.4ml of Enrofloxacin every 12 hours for a week.
