Gunia Pigs fur?

21 14:24:44

Question
My gunia pig is losing hair. Mostly on her top but is only in one spot, a little on the side but nothing big. I'm not sure what to do now. Do you know whats wrong, any advice? shes a female and is about 4 years old and lives with another female who is about 3 years old. Do I need a bigger cage or minreals for them to knaw on? If you can answer soon that will be great thanks!

Answer
Hayley,
 It sounds as though your piggy has toxemia. Toxemia is a disease that causes piggy's fur to fall off. If you treat it now, it will not turn into something worse. If you don't have a vet already, go to vetlocater.com- advanced search-animal type: pocket pet.
