Common Questions and Answers about Pneumonia symptoms in guinea pigs

pneumonia

Avatar n tn I am highly allergic to cats and guinea pigs and the like and have the same symptoms if they are in the house. Wash all the linens in your house and any clothing. Your kids can transfer the pet dander from hands to clothing to other home surfaces. Make sure you try the simple things like vacuuming her mattress and getting her a good mattress cover and a new pillow. I would say - get rid of the pets and get some sleep! As a mother of 4 with 3 under age 3 I can understand your need for sleep.
Avatar n tn s all. Last year, on February, I got a guinea pig. And earlier in 2018, I got a second one. Since the end of 2017 up to now, I have been experiencing persistent cough (that may be attributed to some lung related issue. It gets better with the use of inhalers.), constant runny or stuffed nose, I've gotten pink eye once, and I often find it hard to breathe. Could this be caused by the guinea pigs?

Avatar n tn She can sit in a room 6 ft from the guinea pigs and not cough at all. Her own bedroom is the same distance from the pigs and once she lays down, she's off and coughing. Help!
Avatar n tn I've had several guinea pigs over the years and never experienced that. Looking it up, it seems to be a fairly benign condition. If there are no other symptoms and it's not interfering with his vision, the consensus seems to be to let it go. If you're worried about heart problems (and it's not always connected with pea eye), a vet could check the piglet and let you know.
Avatar f tn I had a dream I gave birth to guinea pigs LMAOO.
492527 tn?1212175672 it certainly does depebnd on the person they have ruined my life due to misdiagnoses and not believing the medication i wastaking was having the effect on me i triedto tell them its trial and error and we are the guinea pigs
Avatar f tn No. They would be the first generation. So they would be the guinea pigs. Why would I make him be a guinea pig with unknown and possibly lethal side effects when I can get a coil inserted, have zero side effects, and still be 100% effective? Pregnancy and birth is a womans chore to deal with, never a mans. JUST MY OPINION. Im sure someones going to get angry for it.
463897 tn?1468013750 m not going to answer the poll, as this sounds like advertising, but remember, all, new medications are on patent, meaning very expensive, and have the least known about them, making users guinea pigs. Sometimes it's where you have to go, but it sounds odd trying to determine if someone would be more willing to take a drug -- why are we trying to market more drugs?
Avatar f tn Hi, congrats on the pregnancy. Do you have herpes simplex 1? This says possibly safe: https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-86727/campho-phenique-antibiotic-topical/details/list-precautions. They say that because they believe it probably is but there are no controlled studies to support it. Why? Well, pregnant women don't want to be guinea pigs, right? So, they could probably never find women to be willing to do a study. But it IS probably safe.
Avatar f tn Go grab something quick! If you wake him apologize, im sure he will understand!
Avatar m tn ) I was tested for Milkprotein, Dustmites, Cats, Dogs, Horses, Guinea pigs, Rabbit, Hamster, Mold Fungus (Alternaria, Cladosporium, Penicillium mix, Aspergillus), Hasel, Birch, Ash, Rye, Plantain, Mugwort, and Ragweed Pollen. Any suggestions? I uploaded pictures of my CT scan on my profile.
Avatar f tn We have 3 cats, 2 guinea pigs, a one year old and a baby on the way. When I was pregnant with my first all I was getting was either. "That's far to many animals you'll have to give them up!" Or "So I take it you're getting rid of the cats?" We trained the cats not to go in the babies things before she came using a spray bottle of water and we've never had a problem. In fact she's particularly friendly with one guinea pig and our younger cat.
Avatar f tn s impaction, a common problem with guinea pigs. However, I am quite worried because even with regular cleaning and removal of the impaction, everyday, he keeps getting skinnier and skinner. I know skinny pigs must eat their own feces to get nutrients, and that my skinny pig obviously isn't, because he cant poo. Is there any solution for impaction so that he will be able to poo regularly and get his nutrients? Also, he has over the last 2 days, developed a large cyst like bump on his face.
Avatar m tn Ayurvedic medicine is traditional indian medicine. Phyllanthus plants like amarus, niruri, urinaria have been given to Indians to treat multiple ailments, so they have a reputation there. The thing with supplements is that they are made up from many different components, that researchers haven't yet isolated what specific compound is doing what.
Avatar f tn I know this will ultimately be a doctor question. However I wanted to see what other mommies thought. Since moving into a townhouse that does not allow dogs/cats.. and being the animal lover I am.. I'm desperately wanting a small caged animal. I'm considering getting Gerbils, they same reasonabley easy to handle (I've owned hamsters, guinea pigs, hedge hog). I know you aren't suppose to change cat litter when pregnant.
Avatar f tn I don't think it’s very common, there have been quite a few members on here that have had guinea pigs whilst pregnant and have had no problems. Perhaps you could speak to your doctor/midwife about it? Before making the big decision to re home your piggies.
Avatar m tn s wrong with pharmaceuticals -- they are sold to us with no history of long-term use and we are the guinea pigs for them. You are also a guinea pig with seanol. I'm a big believer in natural medicine, but don't think that it's all "natural" or all safe. Be careful with all forms of medicine.
605830 tn?1220165221 I was diagnosed with hep c 4 years ago, I haven't been to a doctor in 2 and am about to get back on track with taking care of myself. I now have a kitten and two guinea pigs, both who's cat litter and cage are in my room. I'm just wondering since I do have a weaker immune system, is caring for my pets something that can possibly hinder my health? Also have you guys heard of toxoplasmosis in relation to cat litter etc.
Avatar f tn Nobody knows. Research isn't easy to do in a way that would settle things -- different studies don't use the same products, and not all products are equal, and people don't absorb things the same way. Most of medicine is an experiment with us as the guinea pigs because we just don't know as much as we'd like. You just have to make a decision in this area and see what happens.
