Oh plz help

Question
My guinea pigs stomach is huge!!! Its a boy though. I need help fast. I need help on how to fix him. In any way.

Answer
Hi Keelie,

Please take him to a vet. A specialist small animal or exotic pet one if you can find one. There are a number of reasons why your boy could have a big tummy, but as some are very serious, it is best to get him checked out.

He could:
* Actually be a girl and be pregnant
* Have bloat (from eating mowed grass cuttings or other toxic matter)
* Be obese
* Have a bladder or kidney condition
* Have a blockage in his stomach or intestine

Good luck and I hope it's nothing serious, or if it is, that the vet can get him back to full health quickly.

Hope this helps and if you have any other questions - just ask!

Jenny.
