6 inch guinea pig's age?

Question

hi, i got a guinea pig at petco about two weeks ago, and sadly it is dying,

i just wanted to know, how old would a 6 inch guinea pig be?

it i was stretching it would be around 7 inch..

Answer 1

whats wrong with it?

is it past the warranty?

take it to the vet! tell them you cant afford it, ask if they will put it down for you..

Answer 2

Um... If it's dying it doesn't matter how old the poor thing is... Take him/her to a vet immediately! There's very often something that can be done to save the guinea pig if you take it to a vet quickly as possible!

Answer 3

I'm sorry your piggie is suffering. I'm MORE sorry for the pig, since it is not his/her fault that he/she is ill. But please, if you do not have the money to properly care for an animal, which includes vet care, do not get another one.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Petco has a health guarantee on their animals. You should take the poor piggie and your receipt to the manager and demand your money back.

I don't know what your piggie's symptoms or issues are, but sometimes there ARE things you can do to help it. Go to http://www.guinealynx.info/ and join the forum (its free). Then ask your question(s) in the medical and emergency section. Someone there may be able to give you some answers or direction for helping your poor piggie.

Answer 4
