Can you stop toxemia in guinea pigs?

Answer by  montree (354)

Veterinarians are professionals in treating toxemia in all types of animals. If you are certain the guinea pig has toxemia, take her litter away and hand raise the babies with a bottle and take the mother to a vet.

Take her to an exotics vet (one with experience in rodents, not an ordinary cat/dog vet) ASAP. Toxemia is very dangerous if left untreated. Sugar water once per day is NOT ENOUGH. Also - accidents happen, but do not breed guinea pigs. There is a 20% fatality rate in all pregnancies and you are contributing to overpopulation.

I think the fact that she is still alive is the best thing in your favor- she should have died by now. Keep her very well hydrated.

Take Peach to a qualified exotics vet or emergency clinic IMMEDIATELY. Only a vet that has trained in rodent care will be able to diagnose things properly and prescribe the proper course of treatment to save her.
