  • how can i help my guinea pig?

    my guinea pigs is 2 years and 11 months, hes had some problems with his hind legs and they don't work properly, and now because of that he cannot pass feces without my help, so basically he has an impaction but the vets have done it twice already yesterday and today and im kind of worried to do it myself, ontop of it all hes lost a severe amount of wait for reasons i dont know because the vets here are really **** and don't know anything about guinea pigs even though their exotic vets he eats a fair bit and has a very good diet, but hes lost 100 grams in 3 months and is down to 750 grams :( ,he also drinks alot of water the vet suggested that he may have kidney failure, but hes always drank lots of water i used to give him tap water but then started giving him purifed water and now he drinks that all the time, he also has what she thinks to be an abcess :( they stay on fleece and carpet but they have a little box full of hay with he sometimes sleeps in is it possible the hay could of got stuck in his skin causing an abcess. the vet said hes really ill and needs a specialist opinon before anything else. what can i do to help him put on weight or feel more comfortable or anything. his on pain killers and hes eating okay on his own i just dont want him in pain :(

  • why wont my guinea pig put on weight?

    my guinea pig is about three years old, hes always been healthy, until one day about 5 months ago, he suddenly got really ill over a 24 hour period,he was hopping and was walking became really strange. he didnt eat he couldn't move he lost a severe amount of weight and looked near death i took him to the vet and they said they didnt know what was wrong, they gave me a pain killer for him and i force fed him over the next few weeks when i took him back agian they thought it was his teeth giving him problems but their fine, while he was under, they checked his back legs and hes legs dont stretch back as far as my other guinea pigs and he walks with his legs up, he eats pellets and hay and has fresh green vegitables every day and a suffiecent amount too, i cant figure out why he wont put his weight back on, he eats just as much as my other guinea pig and my other guinea pig is at a perfect weight, he lives inside, sometimes he'll sit and just seem kind of uncomfortable, he used to lay down on his side now he kid up just sits up. any ideas.

    me and my boyfriend were together for about two and a half years, and he went away for two months and when he came back we realised were different people, we dont like the same things anymore and hes more conservative and im more outgoing so it was hard to get along at times, a week or so ago he messaged me telling me that we should go our seperate ways etc, then we got back together, and then on saturday i messaged him and said i cant do this anymore and he assumed it was because of another guy which is not the case, i had my phone on silent and he called several times then said if you dont answer this call im never going to speak to you agian, and i messaged him the next morning saying how we don't get along anymore and this is the reason for it and he still hasn't said anything, hes basically cut me out of his life, nethier one of us were happy towards the end of our relationship but i cant just cut somebody out my life that ive been with almost every day for 2 and a half years like he can, what should i do?

  • Guinea pig acting out of the ordinary?

    my guinea pig seems to be eating his droppings quiet a bit latley I know it's normal for them to do so but he's doing it a fair bit almost everytime I look at him he's eating his droppings is it okay or is it a sign that something's wrong? He also makes a grunting noise when he bends over to get his droppings he's always done this for as long as I've known but just the frequency is a bit strange because I've never seen him do if so much is it abnormal?
