a bath might help but if he has a scratch- you may not be able to see it it will cause him pain and distress Guinea pigs are prone to scurvy. They need their diets supplemented with Vitamin C. Although commercial food contains it, the vitamins added are not always fresh or enough. I brought my pig to the vet when he had a bad skin rash and even the vet was not aware of this and referred me to a veterinary dermatologist. Luckily, I did some research before I made the appointment and saved myself a LOT of money by simply giving my pigs a slice of orange once or twice a week. The rash disappeared almost immediately. If your pig is scratching a lot, this may be the problem. If not, it's still a healthy treat that they LOVE and they really do need the extra vitamin C. Good luck!

Is it ok to put a pregnant guinea pig with a non pregnant female guinea pig?
When I got my guinea pig, we didn't know she was pregnant, so about a month later, my sister got one that wasn't pregnant. It was a little less that a month after that that my guinea pig had 2 babies. During that time, though, Molly, the pregnant guinea pig, was acting very territorial, and Milly, the non pregnant guinea pig, was staying by herself and not having anything to do with Molly. So make sure that if you put a pregnant guinea pig with a non pregnant guinea pig, that the non pregnant guinea pig is a girl, or else there WILL be trouble.
If one guinea pig is sick in cage are the rest sick?
