    UTI/Urinary Tract Infection What should I do

    We do not have an exotic vet near us. The last time we used this vet we had to go to a website and find out the dosage and then tell him how much she needed. That's why I'm trying to find out the dosage.

    Weight weight problem???

    Hello, I have 3 female gp's. two of them look healthy enough but when you pet the 3rd gp you can feel her back bone. Does anyone out there know of a way to make her gain weight? She seems to eat fine w/others and always gets her fair share but doesn't gain weight. Besides the weight thing...

    how to keep them warm in cold weather

    Cold weather is on its way. What are some ways i can keep my guinea pigs warm? I have 3 girls. The house that we moved into had the carport built in but the 2 storage rooms off the carport don't have a way for heat to get into the room. I'm afraid they'll get to cold. It stays in the lower...

    advice please

    My gp has a head tilt ,hopefully only caused by an ear infection. We did take her to the vet, he gave us the antibiotic Batril and hopefully that will clear it up but in the mean time should we keep her in the cage w/the other gp's or separate her? She does tend to fall over at times and moves...

    Help: Advice needed

    My husband took her to our vet Wed. and he was able to determine that she had been poked in the eye (probably the hay). I have been putting some ointment on her eye and it does seem to be getting better.

    Help: Advice needed

    First of all let me say we are moving and the guinea pigs are at the new house so unless I'm over at the new house doing something I might only see them when I feed them. Last night we went over to the house to feed them and noticed that Biscuit had a film in the corner of her eye. I wet a...
