My little guy is acting very odd. It all started last night when I put him on the couch to make sure he was pooping (the other day he ate a small bit of his plastic lining) and it took him a while but he finally went. ... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (invisimeg) http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5975 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 00:38:17 GMT http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5973/t/Fungus-or-something-else-.html
Both guinea pigs have been healthy and happy until about 3 weeks ago. One of our piggies, Peggy, began having some white flaky raw edges appear on her ears. Both ears. It almost appeared as if the skin were peeling - both outside her ear and further in, at the start of the ear canal. I found a vet in town... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (emmweb) http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5973 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:44:50 GMT http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5969/t/Flaky-White-Ear-amp-Generally-Freaking-Out.html feeds@yuku.com (AM1) http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5969 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 03:16:23 GMT http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5965/t/Rescue-Fostering-pregnant-two-sows.html ... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (MaineShutterbug) http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5965 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:12:09 GMT http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5960/t/My-guinea-pig-is-really-sick-won-39-t-do-anything-.html Hi, so my guinea pig, his name is Charlie, has been very weak lately. he doesn't come and beg for food like he usually does or play w/ my rabbit. He still eats but in small portions. he is always lying down in his hut... sometimes he is in such a position he looks dead... When you pick he up he starts to squeak... not the usual happier squeak but sort of a depressed one if you get what i am saying. He tends to start squeaking also if u start to touch him around his... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (guineapigsrox) http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5960 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:30:39 GMT http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5956/t/Somethings-not-right-with-my-pig-s-ears.html feeds@yuku.com (roxmisox) http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5956 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 18:40:06 GMT http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5954/t/Two-questions.html

(the small kind you get for 'sack lunches', w/o the end opened up) When hubby tried to get her out of the sack, she was very, very lethargic (totally not like her!). Hubby took her out of the bag, & eventually she started acting like she had hiccups, and now she's acting more like herself. We think maybe she got a little oxygen deprived while sleeping in the paper bag.

This came out of one of them, I have no idea what it is. it was kind of hard and rubbery and soft on the big part. It didnt have an odour or anything.

About 2 months ago we got a sweet little female pig from a possible breeder. We noticed about a month into having her that was pregnant & must have been when we got her. This past Saturday, she finally gave birth to 3 sweet babies. They're adorable and well loved. The youngest pig I've ever had was 3 wks old & this was not a planned pregnancy.

My three female guinea pigs (aged 1 yr, 1.5 yrs and 2 yrs) have all been showing strange signs the last few days.

My eldest was acting strangely when she passed urine. She would squeak as if she was in discomfort or pain. I was on the phone trying to get her an appointment with a vet and after an hour or so she stopped. She had had a bit of squishy poop stuck in her bum the day before that I had to pull out (sorry for gross details guys!) so I figured it may just have... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (RiBrodyNoodle) http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5929 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 13:17:29 GMT http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5923/t/sleeping-outside-of-their-little-house-.html ]]> feeds@yuku.com (skippy000) http://cavymadness76263.yuku.com/topic/5923 Sun, 23 Aug 2009 04:56:55 GMT
