Help with my Guinea Pigs! Please?

Question

Hi. I'm new to having guinea pigs and I think that one of mine may be a little sick. He has a wet nose off and on and his eyes seem to be more black than the other guinea pig that I have and I didn't notice that he had cuts on his back that looked like another guinea pig could have bitten him or scratched him. Right now my guinea pigs are seperated from each other. I don't know whether or not I should take the one that I think is sick back. He also bites unlike the other one that I have.

Please help here are some links to the pigs.

Answer 1

You might have to go to a vet on this one. Your sick guinea pig probably have an infection of some sort, especially if he has open cuts and is unusually aggressive. He'll need an antibiotic to get rid of it.

Male guinea pigs will fight if kept together, so if both are males, you'll have to house them separately.
