some Guinea Pig Ailments.
Guinea Pigs as a rule are not vet heavy. They do however hide illness well as they are prey animals, and cannot appear weak in the wild. So it is good to get to know your own pigs, so you can recognize any changes in behaviors early.
On this page we will touch on a few of the more common ailments. Always have a good vet on hand. Guinea Pigs need an Exotic vet, not a cat and dog vet. They also have some special needs, including the correct antibiotics. They can only safely take a few. This page is from my own experiences and should never take the place of a well versed vet.
Daily attention to our little fur friends can alert us to any changes in how they are feeling. I like to hand feed everyone a veggie everyday, to be sure they come and take it, are eating, have bright eyes, dry noses and are feeling themselves. Any changes in their normal behavior should be examined further.
