Guinea pig not well

gerad_way · 2008-03-24 15:30:26

Freddy my Guinea pig seems a bit under the weather. He has lost a bit of weight recently but eats like a true piggy.However he does seem to drink lots of water. Today he is just sitting in the corner of his cage, and didn't move when I approached. I have checked him over for any lumps bumps etc but he really isn't his…

Sorry to hear about Freddy. you mentioned he lived with Scooby. Is this another guinea pig, or maybe a rabbit. if a guinea pig you should watch it carefully for a few days,as the problem Freddy had could be infectious. guinea pigs do not catch colds, but suffer from respitatory infections, which can be passed on to cagemates.
