OMG HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question

MY GUINEA PIG HAS A WHITE DISCHARGE COMING OUT OF HER BUM !! WHTA IS IT IS SHE ILL OR PREGNANT?!?!?!?!?

Answer 1

If shes young shes going though "guinea pig puberty" or she may be pregnant if she is older But i would see your local vet if i were you i hope she is ok though

Answer 2

ummm....that's kinda strange...if it's been happening for a long time, then i'd take her to the vet... my cousin's guinea pig does that occasionally, and it's still living. i'd still call your vet if it happens again tho.

Answer 3

I don't have much experience with Guinea pigs, but I am sure that white discharge is not a good sign. This is pretty much what my guinea pig loving friends say-

Guineas may produce a small amount of creamy discharge from the v****a after ovulating - this will clear up in a few days and is not usually something to worry about.

If your guinea pig has a too higher intake of calcium, this can turn into a thick sludgey discharge but this is more likely to happen to a male than a female.

A discharge from your Guinea pig can be the cause of a deep reproductive tract infection but usually this discharge is green or bloody.

All of these problems can be quite severe though, so I would definitely recommend you make a vets appointment for your guinea pig as soon as possible to rule out any health problems or get treatment.

Answer 4

they get that when the come on heat nothin to woory about

Answer 5

That could mean anything! Go see the vet immediately!  It's possible she is pregnant, and if she is, take extra good care of her!

Answer 6

Nothin' 2 worry about, she's goin into heat (ive never experienced this before cause my guinea pig was pg!)  She ain't pregnant, if she was she would be REALLY moody like nippy/bitey

Answer 7

It sounds like calcium discharge, he is getting to much calcium in his diet and that needs to be cut back on veg that as a high calcuim level such as spinach.

Provide him food with more vitamin C in it and make sure that he is drinking lots of water to flush out the extra calcium in his system.

Other then that your pig is fine and healthy. There is really nothing to worry about, as this is normal from time to time when Guinea Pigs get to much calcium in their system and need it flushed out.

Answer 8

Her bum or her girl bits ?  Depends how much discharge really "Guinea pigs also produce a natural creamy substance from the vaginal area after ovulating, however this is not prolonged and in such small amounts that it usually goes unnoticed by the owners." If theres quite a bit it could be some kind of infection and best thing really is go get it checked out.

Answer 9

Oh my gosh. Don't worry, lol. She's not pregnate. Guinea pig females get this when they go into heat. It just best to change her bedding. don't panic =D
