My guinea pig is a male and according to my book on guinea pigs males have a scent gland just above on their hind quarters you can see a sort of spot or mark (if your guineapig is short haired) and that is the gland (really grossly sticky so don't touch it). Basically he is marking his territory in case you were to introduce a new male to him he could show the new male who's boss!
Hope this helps!!
I can only assume there is some spinal damage.
This could be a birth defect or caused by an accident or disease. It could also be a vitamin C deficiency. Try giving the piggy guinea pig pellets with added vitamin C, and give him/her some vitamin C tablets (for guinea pigs not humans) from the pet shop if affordable. This may fix the problem. If the piggy is dragging its rear legs, I doubt that it is a spinal injury because they usually hurt the pig too much for it to move at all. I really hope your guinea pig will be ok :) best of luck.
My piggy is also paralyzed at the moment and I have to take her to the vet because she is in pain. :(
its mabye had a little toilet accedent, but if this is happening all the time, then tell a vet.
It has been pained somehow. You should call your vet.
Take her to a vet immediately. There is something seriously wrong with her.
It means the leg is broke so you should take it to the doctor.....
Sometimes guinea pigs lose the use of their back legs. This is somewhat common and is not a sign of injury. If the guinea pig is dragging itself around, administer a dose of liquid calcium. This seems to solve the problem.
Not really.
It's possible, if the guinea pig has been train ever since it were little.
No. Guinea pigs have very fine skeletons and rabbits have very strong legs. A kick from a rabbit can easily break a guinea pig's bones.
They walk on four legs.
That is completely normal :)
Yes, the cats long legs, provide them superior running ability to that of a guinea pig.
Some times there are mutated guinea pigs. One Of Mine had 3 and a half legs.
Definitely a guinea pig. Rabbits have very strong hind legs and tend to kick hard. They are also a lot bigger.
It is very easy. I have a female Abyssinian Guinea Pig. Between her back legs is a small hole from which she urinates. My sisters have a male American Guinea Pig. If you look between his legs there is a hole that well... looks like he is pooping you could say. But that is his male part.
