QUOTE(BoobiTrap @ Apr 7 2013, 05:23 AM) Hello everyone! I just got my 4 cute piggies 2 weeks ago. I'm still learning how to take care of them. I've been reading lots of health articles talking about lice and mite. Some of the pictures even freaks me out. wow... tat a big risk u took there... normally newbies always jus start with 1 or 2 piggy 1st..lice and mites is a hindrance... it is down to the cleanliness and food u fed ur piggy. lice is not common to piggy but mites is.. mites usually happen if u got the piggy from unexperience homebreeder, not so good farm etc.. it also can happen if u fed them chepo hay.. or hay from an unrealiable source.. sometimes mites egg are found in hay , those hay producer which dont uv screen their hay usually will cause these... food also play an essential roles.. as good pellet , fruits, and vege will ensure ur piggy have the ability to fight these pest by themselves... if not they might be vulnerable to some other side effect of lice and mites usually loss of hair, patchy skin, scaling etc..Is lice and mite very common among guinea pigs? How can i prevent or cure it? How much it usually cost bringing piggy to vet for checkup? Sorry for asking so many questions. I'm still new to these and I'm really worry about their health. |

QUOTE(BoobiTrap @ Apr 7 2013, 07:50 PM) I bought the whole family over. One dad and three son. I don't want them to be separated. Anyway as I was cleaning them, I found a red scar on the dad and one of the son. I'm not sure whether it is serious or not. I'm quite worry about it and not sure I should bring them to the vet or not. seems ok to be.. jus like pimples i guess.. mine sometimes have it as well when they have tahi mata.. lolzHow much it usually cost for a piggy checkup at the vet? [attachmentid=3381603] This is daddy "Poppy' There is a red scar near the eye. [attachmentid=3381605] This is Sweet P. I couldn't take a clear picture of the scar but it is quite similar to the one that daddy has. |
