Question
My friend has 4 guinea pigs, only 1 seems to be having seizures for the past 2 days, besides the seizures her behavior seems normal although she is 7 yrs. old, could this a series of strokes from old age or something else?

Answer
Hi Jessica,

It sounds like your friend needs to get her piggy to the vet ASAP. Seizures are a sign of serious or advanced illness and really need to be investigated by a professional, experienced vet.

It could be a severe case of mites or infection, or it could simply be to do with her age. The only way you can know for sure is to get to the vet.

Best Wishes,
