Is My Guinea Pig Dying?

Question

My 3 or 4 year old female guinea pig is eating more and a little less drinking.I had her with my 5 or 8 month old male guinea pig maybe 3 or 4 times and they humped but it was like a few weeks ago she is getting a bit bigger.Is she pregnant?and if she is what do I do to keep her healthy and happy because I know she is old to have more babies. She had babies before when her pelvic bones were opened.I know how to care for baby guinea pigs and I am keeping all babies even if she had 20 which I would doubt.Her last litter was 6 healthy guinea pigs who all survived but I had to get rid of to Pet World.

Answer 1

it will be ok if she already gave birth to some puppies. but id reccomend asking a vet. also it may be dangerous giving birth at that age! well her pelvic bones have already seprated.... but thats old.

hope this helps!

Answer 2

MOST LIKELY SHE IS PREGNANT TAKE HER TO A VET. IF SHE IS, SEPERATE HER FORM THE MALE THEY HAVE THE TENDENCY TO EAT BABY GUINEA PIGS RIGHT AFTER THEY ARE BORN. I HAD THIS HAPPEN TO MY CHILDREN'S GUINEA PIGS THEY GUY SAID THAT THEY WERE BOTH MALE. WE FOUND OUT THEY WERE NOT ONCE WE LOOKED IN THE CAGE AND FOUND 4 DEAD BABY GUINEA PIGS THE OTHER GUINEA PIG WAS EATING THEM.
