Common Questions and Answers about Heart problems in guinea pigs

heart

Avatar n tn We bought 2 guinea pigs 7 days before our 7 yr old began coughing and running a constant low grade temp. WE're now on day 13, but have taken 5 days of z-pac, xopenex nebulizer and codituss cough med with codiene. Her coughing during the day is much improved but as soon as she lies down for bedtime the coughing begins. She coughed over an hour before falling asleep and then coughed almost non-stop from 1:30-6:30 this am. Still running a low-grade temp.
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 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 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 f tn I had a dream I gave birth to guinea pigs LMAOO.
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 Please see the following -- note that LCMV can be carried by housepet animals like guinea pigs. Do you know how many pregnant women take care of their hamsters and guinea pigs during pregnancy and DO NOT get LCMV? Hundreds of thousands! So please try not to worry. You didn't do yourself any harm. From another site: What is LCMV? The Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus (LCMV) is carried by rodents such as hamsters, guinea pigs or mice.
Avatar n tn I had Crystalens IOL's put in both eyes a year ago (June & July 2007) and have had numerous problems with focus (one eye is slightly near-sighted and the other is now far-sighted). Drastic problems with edge glare and poor distance in both eyes at night. Very difficult to drive at night. My surgeon kept saying I need YAG and my cloudiness was trace to +1, then recently (last week) he said I'm now at 2 to +3 in both eyes, which I suppose means it's worse.
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.
1460652 tn?1340248730 I wouldn't dwell too much on the bipolar 2 idea, this is a fad with psychiatrists nowadays. Mine tried to diagnose me with it a few years ago and I showed no signs at all of it. It's a diagnosis mostly flowing from pharmaceutical companies trying to sell more antipsychotics to go along with antidepressants. But it does indicate your psychiatrist thinks you have a depression problem.
Avatar f tn Reproductive studies has been performed in mice at doses up to 9 times the human oral dose, in rats up to 44 times the human oral dose, in rabbits at a dose of 10mg/day delivered locally within the uterus by an implanted device, in guinea pigs at approx one half the human oral doseand in Rhesys monkeys at doses approx the human dose, all based on body surface area, and have revealed little or no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to progesterone.
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 Go grab something quick! If you wake him apologize, im sure he will understand!
Avatar f tn Also because when i got her genetic ultra sound they said they saw a very small and VERY COMMON white spot on her heart, which she said 1000 times its very very common and will most likely go away in time and if it doesnt it still will not affect her. So since she told me that obviously im going to be concerned about absolutely every thing.
Avatar m tn A review of the literature will tell you what happens to people with untreated syphilis, not pretty, and some unfortunate African Americans were used as guinea pigs by our government to find out just what happens. Also, from personal experience with a relative new STD known as mycoplasma genitalia, I can state that it too can become systemic, it is very hard to get out of your body, somewhat like Lyme Disease.
Avatar f tn My cat is long haired and cleans her own feet. My husband takes care of the litter but I raised 9 siblings from infancy and am now pregnant with my first. I've never had a problem. My cat shares my pillow and everything. It not the litter that will harm you but something that's found in cat urine and poop. Same is true for pet rodents like hamsters, rats, guinea pigs, etc... just don't handle their waste.
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.
