fever

Question
Hi. I have a question regarding my guinea pig. Her ears feel kinda hot and I was wondering if that was a symptom of her having a fever. I haven't noticed anything else abnormal.

Answer
Nope, your piggie does not have a fever. Guinea pig body temp. can range from 99 degree F to 104 degrees F. So, she is just a bit warmer than a human. I have noticed that when my piggies are sick they get colder than usual, especially their ears!
Good Luck, Cindy
