Has your guinea pig gotten sick and you are left feeling helpless?
Worry no more as you will no longer feel helpless with this article.
Steps
- 1Take your guinea pig to the vet. Find out exactly what is wrong with your guinea pig and ask how you can help her.
- 2If you have more than one guinea pig, buy or have a separate cage and put your sick guinea pig in it as you do not want the sickness to spread to your other guinea pigs.
- 3Do something that your guinea pig is happy with. For example, if she loves going outside, then take her outside and let her eat some non-fertilized grass.
- 4If the sick guinea pig has come in contact with anything, do not put your other guinea pigs if you have any near it.
- 5Make sure your guinea pig is eating and drinking. If she is not, this is fatal.
- 6Buy a small kitchen scale for your guinea pig. Weigh her daily and record the date, weight, and guinea pig's name. It is handy if you have a normal weight amount that you can use to compare from.
- 7Buy a folder for your guinea pig. Write her name on the front. Use this folder to store vet records, care sheets, and other important things.
- 8Check her poops. They should be hard-ish and round and brown.
- 9Consider her age. A guinea pig is considered a senior after she hits the age of 6.
