Guinea Pig Health Checks & First Aid

Guinea pigs are prey animals and hide illness until they cannot. This is the routine that finds it while there is still time: a five-minute weekly exam, a weight log with two clear action thresholds, and a red-flag table sorted by how fast you need to move.

What is inside

• Normal ranges for weight, temperature, heart and breathing rate
• A weekly hands-on exam, nose to tail, in a fixed order
• The weight log and the two thresholds that trigger action
• Red flags sorted by urgency, from emergency to this-week
• Seven common conditions, plus the antibiotic families that are lethal to cavies
