Chloe's discription

Chloe, our new guinea pig, is very sweet. She has dark spots around her eyes, one light and one dark colored ear, a reddish ridge on her middle back, and a white face, belly, and bottom. All of her feet are lightly colored. If you are getting a guinea pig for the first time, check out How to Care for a Guinea Pig, my first post.

Chloe and Guinea pig head tilts

Chloe is our new guinea pig. After Heidi passed away from a sickness, Belle was lonely, so we got Chloe. Signs of the illness Heidi had are little weight gain ( for young, growing pigs), weight loss, a head tilt, not eating what they usually eat well, or the pig not being as active as they usually are. If this happens, immediately get your pig to the vet. Heidi could not be saved, but your piggy could be, if you hurry them to the vet after any of these symptoms. Save your piggy, even if mine couldn't be saved.
