Question
my guinnie pig called pepper is porley she has fur comming of her back in patches and she has beeen bleading she pregnant i have two males in seperate cage and she is in with two other pregnant guinnie pigs can you tell me what might be wrong do you think shes beeen fighting but the girls get on fine usually  

Answer
Hi Jayne

In view of the fact that she is bleeding it seems likely that this condition is related to her pregnancy. Small amounts of fur loss is normal during pregnancy.

Perhaps a small amount of bloodloss is normal also but pregnancy is not an area where I am particularly knowledgeable in. Have a look at www.guinealynx.info for more assistance but perhaps you should consider getting pepper checked out by a vet.
