If you’re searching “guinea pig vet near me” search no more. We often get asked if we service animals such as guinea pigs, mice, rats, and other small creatures. We do.

We understand that your guinea pig is like family. There are some common warning signs to look out for if your guinea pig is sick and requires veterinary assistance at Langley Animal Clinic. These are:

• Refusal to eat or drink
• Labored breathing, wheezing
• Crusty eyes, sneezing
• Rough or puffed-up coat
• Dull and/or receding eyes
• Lethargy, hunched posture
• Drooling
• Watery diarrhea
• Blood in urine
• Limping
• Hair loss, excessive scratching
• Loss of balance
• Any behavior unusual for your pig, e.g., facing a corner and being slow to respond

We suggest weighing your guinea pig weekly. A two to three-ounce loss can be the onset of a health issue with your guinea pig. If your guinea pig has lost four ounces or more, see Langley Animal Clinic immediately.
