Answer 1

Try taking her to the vet, I know that's a generic answer but there's only so much that online answers can do.

Answer 2

she might have tumers or she is deing;[

Answer 3

If you notice your guinea pig keeps itching itself, it probably has mites that's why its losing fur. I'm not sure about the yellow and white stuff. You should take it to the vet.

Answer 4

The bald patches are a Guinea Pig itching problem, but if you contact your vet they will provide you with a cream or a powder which will help.

The stuff on her nipples is not right, you need to see your vet about that.

When guinea pig get older, their nails do tend to grow sideways so I wouldn't worry about it, just make sure they're trimmed at least every three weeks.

You have such a cute guinea pig!!!

Answer 5

Here are a few questions.

1.  How old is she?

2.  Does she have anything to scratch on?

3.  Has she been with a male pig?

Could she be pregnant?  Pigs can only bred for a short period of time.  Then there pelvis doesn't move for birthing.  The discharge might be milk if she is pregnant.   If she doesn't have anything to scratch on she need her nails trimmed.  

Answer 6

I think it'll pass because my guinea pig already

got a bald spot on her back & it seems as if

theres more fur growing back so.. next time you

wash your piggy, use baby shampoo it may work

but will take a long while & if it doesn't take to

your local vet idmetialy.  !!

the yellow icky stuff / nail disorder .. well truth be told has to be

seen by a profesional vet because i truthfully have

no idea what that could be..

Good Luck And Best Wishes

Answer 7

Your piggie appears to have hormone issues and possible mammary tumors. The yellow exudate from her teats is NOT a good sign.

You'll need to take her to a qualified exotics vet for confirmation.

The nails will grow sideways sometimes, depending upon how your piggie walks on her feet. It is no cause for alarm. Her nails DO need to be trimmed regularly though or it can cause severe pain when walking.
