    Injury Serious injury

    Take him to an emergency vet. It's possible your cat injured him as scratches do not appear out of no where. Take your guinea pig to an emergency vet ASAP or he won't last the night. Put his cage mate in a closed cage behind a lock door, so that your cat will not injure him, too.

    Eyes/Non-crusty Larger, Bluish Eye

    Any specific tear replacers you reccomend? The vet told us that we need to buy some so her eye lid doesn't dry out, since her eye lid can't cover her eye. He said no visine but didn't say a specific brand.

    Eyes/Non-crusty Larger, Bluish Eye

    Her eye looks smaller to me, and the vet said that results would be immediate. Perhaps it is only wishful thinking, though. The surgery worries me as I am aware of the risks to small animals. The Vet who will be performing the surgery has done successful surgeries on guinea pigs before, so that...

    Conditions Blind piggy Kato

    Sorry for believing strongly in something, and not backing down. I don't load my posts with sugar nor do I lace it with poison. I promote adoption is all. I have offered advise. Simple layout, companion and keep things the same.

    Conditions Blind piggy Kato

    Well, you see, this forum is pretty much against buying from a pet store, and I can't think of any good reason to buy a pet from one. Also, while it's important to help your pig, it is also important to help the others that are suffering. It takes severe neglect to allow a situation such as you...

    So why did you still opt to buy a pet when the store will continue to mistreat their future animals?

    Conditions Blind piggy Kato

    I can't really offer suggestion, but I now own a piggy blind in one eye due to glacouma, so we're in the same boat. However, you really should read up on adoption vs shopping. It's rather sad the condition he is in due to the pet store's cruelty. Please report them so they can't harm any more...

    Conditions HELP!, New Pig With Scabs

    Oh wow. Please don't get new guinea pigs when you can't even afford to care for the one you had. ANYTHING could happen, and what will you do if some thing goes wrong with this one's health?

    Eyes/Non-crusty Larger, Bluish Eye

    They said the other eye is fine, and they didn't really mention what caused it but did say it could be a birth defect. Our vet appointment Friday will determine when we need to schedule the surgery because she said the eye drops will only be a short term solution. Lyla is very healthy otherwise...

    Eyes/Non-crusty Larger, Bluish Eye

    Excuse my lack of grammar, I am posting from my phone. Anyways, we took her to the vet today. The vet said is was glacouma and that the pressure in the was very high and she is blind. There is a cosmetic procedure and then there is a option to remove the eye, which we will do if the eye drops...

    Genitals Discharge?

    No, they will not heal on their own. They need to see a Vet as soon as possible.

    Weight Loss (Urgent!)Severely starved pig,unwilling to eat.

    I wish I could do more...I want her to get to a Vet right now. :(I know we can get her in the morning, and we're going to switch off tonight to take care of her and give her water and pellet mash. It's honestly a bad time for this (Well, there's never a good time.) We have a lot of friends who...

    Weight Loss (Urgent!)Severely starved pig,unwilling to eat.

    I'm afraid of that... The only veggies I know she had ever recieved was apples. And she didn't eat them. (they were molded under the wood chip bedding the neglectful owner used. She didn't clean the cage but merely but new bedding over the molded parts.) I will try blending up some carrots and...

    Weight Loss (Urgent!)Severely starved pig,unwilling to eat.

    She was a minor, and took awful care of her pigs. They didn't even have a food bowl. When her sister found out, she came to us for help. She's a darling pig, I just hope she can last tonight. We will be feeding her pellet mash throughout the night and will rush her to a vet in the morning. She...

    Weight Loss (Urgent!)Severely starved pig,unwilling to eat.

    We have been washing our hand throughly and our other pigs are separated from her by closed doors. I only considered it because she is lonely to the death of her friend. :( Her poops are thin and sticky and very foul smelling.

    Our parents refused, but we'll have a ride tomorrow, so she's definately going to a vet. It's just, I think she's sad due to her friend dying today. Hopefully the new cage and surroundings can distract her a little bit.

    Weight Loss (Urgent!)Severely starved pig,unwilling to eat.

    She is more mobile, but hasn't really explored her new cage. (We have her in a 2x3 with fleece and towels.)We will have a ride when our parents come home from work. (It'll be a surprise for them, but my sister and I both work and we completely provide for our pigs.) I don't think she has any...

    Okay, we did make a mash for her. She seems to have perked up a bit. She made one tiny little poop.We're trying to find a ride to get her to an emergency vet. (Our ride is busy, so we're trying to get another friend to take us, although we can definately get her to the Vet tomorrow due to giving...
