Learn about common diseases to guinea pigs and what the symptoms are. when your guinea pig shows signs of a disease or unusual behavior, find out which disease it most likely has. then go to your local Vetinary Clinic and get some medicine for your guinea pig.
All living things carry "germs," including people. Bacteria live in our mouths and digestive system and on our skin. Guinea pigs don't carry diseases any more than other domesticated animals and probably a lot less. Guinea pigs normally don't carry any diseases that can be transmitted to humans except in rare circumstances and a vet should be able to tell you if that particular guinea pig is sick. Handling them or buying one as a pet should be perfectly safe.
Yes, a veterinarian can perform an ultrasound or X-ray to confirm if a female guinea pig is pregnant. It is not possible to accurately diagnose pregnancy in guinea pigs through physical examination alone.
Well there are a few ways to tell if your pig is sick. One way is if your pig does not eat or drink. If they don't make any noises like usual, or if they shake and shiver (they may not be just cold). When your pig has a runny nose, it is okay for a few days but if the "sniffles" continue for a week or so, then he or she needs to be taken to the doctor. also you can tell if they lose and gain weight constantly, or shed more than normal. one bad sign is if your pig starts to get a lot of "gunk" in their eyes, that won't go away.
You should go to your local vet and tell him or her about your guinea pig's pain and he or she will give you some medication.

yes, Guinea pigs make low noises to tell that she/he feels sick
Unfortunately, there is no way to tell if a guinea pig has ever had babies before.
Unlike cats or dogs, guinea pigs cannot tell if you sick. There brains are so small all they know what to do is find food,run, and find a shelter. (other guinea pigs CAN do many other things- but in my opion, this is my anwser. )
Yeah you probably should if you fell sick you need to tell them.
take it to the vet!! even if you don't have money, tell the vet your guinea pig is sick and you cannot afford to care for it. Because the vet is a HUMAN BEING he will take care of it and not abandone him, in a forest.

how can you tell when your african grey is sick
No. Guinea Pigs can not have powerade. The only drink that guinea pigs are allowed to have is water. Any other drinks (especially Powerade, Gatorade, ...etc...) could potentially make them sick and/or kill them. I would highly recommend getting the book "Guinea Pigs (Animal Planet Pet Care Library) " which can be found at your local PetSmart or Petco. It will tell you all about keeping your Guinea Pig safe and healthy.
There is no for sure way to tell if your guinea pig is pregnant unless you consult a veterinarian.
