So glad that he is on the mend, keep us posted! My thoughts and prayers are with you and Jack

I managed to get her into the emergency vet today, she has an ulcer on her eye, he prescribed eyedrops (Neomycin, Polymyxin, and Gramacidin). She's tired after her trip in the car but she seems happy and otherwise healthy.

It looks like there is a small spot on her eye that is rough or raw, so I think it might be an abrasion. The soonest I can get her in to the vet is Monday, as our vet is not open on Sunday. Is there anything I should do in the meantime?

This evening, I noticed something strange about my guinea pig Spike's left eye... I've attempted to attach a picture, but I don't know if it will work. Basically her eye is normal except for a cloudy-ish spot, and the white part of her eye is bloodshot. I'm thinking she poked herself either...

Could you post a picture to help us get a better idea of what you're talking about?

Oh, goodness! She looks about ready to burst! Poor baby. I'm just glad she's in your hands now. Keep us posted :)

So, I know I posted about my other pig Luisa having a lot of weight loss a couple of weeks ago, happy to report that she has been steady around 2 lbs 2 oz, but this is about my other pig Spike. Today, she was over in her hay corner, and started sneezing. She sneezed 6 or 7 times within a few...

Illness in guinea pigs can escalate extremely quickly, especially since they often do not start showing symptoms until it is very severe. My old pig, Rambo, had a URI and we didn't even know until it was too late; he was shaking and twitching, couldn't stand up, wouldn't eat/drink, etc.

I am so sorry you are having to go through this, and I don't really have enough experience to know anything about what you can do for him. However, my pigs are currently having a bit of a problem with smaller and dryer poop, and about a month ago it was really mushy. Since you have some...

I haven't looked at all, but hey, its Google right? I mean, what can't you find on the internet? ;)

Ugh! Pet stores disgust me! Like, how can they look at those poor innocent pigs and treat them the way that they do! It's awful!

Yes, this is highly possible and has happened to many many people. In fact, I think my two girls were a result of an accidental pregnancy from the petstore. I'm not actually sure about the age at which they become fertile, I've heard four weeks and I've heard two months...

My pigs do this also. I posted about it and found out that it is their way of cleaning their paws. My pigs have never bitten them to the point that they start bleeding, but I guess every pig is different. I would just keep an eye on it, make sure it is healing properly, etc. Although I don't...

What could the smaller and tapered poops indicate? How do I fix it?

I'm still kind of new to the guinea pig world, especially with young piggies, so I'm not really sure what is normal, what is cause for concern, and when you should decide that your pig needs to see a vet. I've noticed a few things, being the overprotective momma that I am, that seem strange, or...
