Knowing the most common guinea pig diseases and their typical signs can help you be proactive with your little chomper. After all, caring for these adorable rodents requires lots of love and attention to any behavioral changes. Don’t let their size fool you!
Typical Signs of Guinea Pig Diseases
The guinea pig is a docile small exotic animal that is extremely affectionate but tends to be shy in some situations. They have learned from their ancestors, known prey in their natural habitat, to hide the signs that something is wrong. But these are a few behavioral changes that you should have in mind:
- Appetite change
- Excessive licking
- Antisocial behavior with other bonded guinea pigs in the household
- Prostration or lethargy
- Lack of interest in surroundings
- Weight loss
They have learned from their ancestors to hide the signs that something is wrong.
If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t hesitate to seek a specialized veterinarian consultation. Once you have a confirmed diagnosis, natural supplements can help offer extra support.
In the meantime, understand some of the most common conditions that can affect your guinea pig:
1. Urinary Stones in Guinea Pigs
Be cautious about your little piggy’s alfalfa hay intake! That’s because this ingredient is really high in calcium, one of the main causes of urinary stones in guinea pigs. Genetic predisposition also has an effect on your little one’s urinary health, seeing as urinary stones commonly affect female animals. Older piggies are also more prone to urinary stones.
Supplements for Guinea Pig Urinary Health
Stones can be painful, and surgical removal might be the only treatment option depending on the size. NHV Tripsy can offer extra kidney, bladder, and urinary tract support. You can add 0.5 mL of this herbal formula to your piggie’s food twice daily to help address urinary infections and aid in eliminating struvite stones and preventing struvite and oxalate calculi.
2. Guinea Pig Skin Issues Caused by Mites
Small rodents dealing with mites may present symptoms like itchiness, hair loss, prostration, and sometimes secondary bacterial skin infection. One of the two types of mites that can affect guinea pigs (Trixacarus caviae) requires immediate treatment as it can cause extreme clinical signs.
If your guinea pig is debilitated, the veterinarian may recommend hospitalization for supportive care. These natural topical and oral formulas can be helpful when used in combination with the vet-prescribed treatment:
Mite Support for Guinea Pigs
- NHV Alge-Ex is an oral supplement that can be added to your guinea pig’s food to help with mite infection symptoms such as itching, scratching, and eye rubbing.
- NHV Ouch Away Spray is a topical glycerin-based spray that may help calm irritated skin. This natural formula also has ingredients that can help fight infections, wounds, or hair loss, in case of skin injury caused by excessive scratching.
3. Dental Issues in Guinea Pigs
Guinea pigs are prone to an oral condition called dental malocclusion. This happens when the upper and lower teeth don’t align, leading to a “bad bite.” This can cause the sharpy points of the top incisors teeth to hurt your furkiddo’s tongue. The pain can make it difficult for the rodent to drink, eat, chew, and/or swallow.
Dental issues can occur in guinea pigs due to a combination of these factors:
- Unbalanced diet
- Genetics
- Trauma
The correct diagnosis of dental diseases in any pocket pet needs to be performed by a veterinarian. The treatment should include diet modification because soft diets low in crude fiber are usually the root cause. However, complementary care for general oral health with natural supplements can be a great path.
Supplements Can Help Address Dental Issues
NHV Mouth Drops was vet-formulated to be applied directly to your pet’s teeth and gums to help promote overall oral health. This herbal blend helps combat bacterial infections of the mouth, guard against tooth decay and plaque, and promote freshness to the mouth.
If your little furriend is struggling to eat due to pain and inflammation, NHV Turmeric can help. This superfood has anti-inflammatory properties and can help address discomfort caused by buccal ulcers.
4. Guinea Pig Tummy Issues Caused Bacteria
Stressful situations, an abrupt change in diet, or the overuse of antibiotics can help develop enterotoxemia in your guinea piggie. Enterotoxemia is caused by the peak of bacteria growth in the gastrointestinal tract of your little one, especially Clostridium difficile.
Natural Gut Support for All Pets
NHV TumFlora was vet-formulated to help promote healthy intestinal flora and for overall gut support. Some of the ingredients in this blend can help reduce inflammation and fight infections because of their antibacterial properties.
5. Ringworm Can Also Affect Your Piggie
Dermatophytosis is a fungal infection that affects your guinea pig’s fur, skin, and nails. This condition is also known as ringworm due to the circular shape of the skin lesions that it can cause. This uncomfortable skin issue can also lead to hair loss, skin redness, or inflammation.
Although this condition is not among the most common guinea pig diseases, the fungus responsible for the infection can also be transmitted to humans. So extra caution is needed when caring for a furkiddo with ringworm.
Ringworm Support for Guinea Pigs
NHV Felimm may support a guinea pig with dermatophytosis for its fungal-fighting properties. Felimm can be used in combination with NHV All Clear Ointment, a topical formula that may help heal inflamed, red, or itchy skin while also addressing fungal infections.
This species is popularized as a pet because guinea pigs adapt to small spaces and are great companions for people of all ages. We hope you can now see that these small animals need specific care, a healthy routine, and proactive support. Watching out for behavioral changes and maintaining a routine of visiting the vet can go a long way in preventing guinea pig disease. If you need any help, we are also always here for you and your little chomper!

Holistic Rabbit Kidney Supplement Support
Sometimes it can be tricky to tell what is bothering your furry companion, because no two pets are alike! But a common health issue that affects our bunny pals is kidney disease. These two bean-shaped organs have several key roles: removing metabolic wastes from the body and maintaining the correct balance of water and electrolytes (salts) within the body. Another important role is producing essential hormones that help maintain healthy blood pressure, production of new blood cells, and allow the body to absorb salt. Lastly, the urinary system processes vitamin D - an integral component for calcium absorption and bone growth.
The two most common types of renal issues are kidney degeneration (often age-related) which can lead to organ failure and acute kidney failure, where symptoms develop suddenly over a few days or weeks and can lead to the kidneys shutting down quickly. This may cause irregularities in your bunny’s urinary output. To figure out if your furkiddo has kidney issues, your vet can run some tests like bloodwork, urinalysis, radiographs, ultrasounds, and/or CT scans, to further investigate their symptoms. The typical course of action for rabbit kidney problems includes intravenous fluid therapy (under the supervision of your trusted vet), the addition of glycoproteins and a kidney-specific, balanced diet.
Symptoms of Rabbit Kidney Problems
- Lethargy
- Lack of appetite
- Inappropriate urination
- Change in frequency of urination
- Straining to urinate
- Abnormal urine color
- Fever
- Soft stools, diarrhea, or constipation
- Possible seizures
- Tender kidneys (abdominal pain)
For kidney degeneration or acute kidney issues, we'd suggest adding a natural rabbit kidney supplement like NHV Tripsy™ to your bunny's daily feeding schedule. It can safely be used short-term as well as long-term as a natural health support. Tripsy™ promotes healthy kidney, bladder, and urinary tract functions and may eliminate kidney stone formation in all of your bunny pals (both young and old).
How NHV’s Supplements Ease Rabbit Kidney Problems
Kidney issues can cause a lot of stress and worry in your Lop and Lionhead pals. Ingredients like parsley piert and stone root have diuretic properties that gently regulate urine flow, if on the low/infrequent side, to help keep things flowing normally and prevent the formation of kidney and bladder calculi (often called stones). Herbs like Wild hydrangea and Gravel root have traditionally been used for supporting kidney and urinary health by helping to break down, dissolve and remove stones and prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Other ingredients like Echinacea purpurea and Oregon grape's defense against microorganisms help combat infections. And lastly, Marshmallow soothes irritated internal tissues and protects cells from oxidative damage.
Causes for Kidney Issues in Rabbits
- Shock
- Trauma
- Stress
- Stroke
- Heart failure
- Blood infection
- Urinary tract obstruction
- Urinary tract infection

For kidney degeneration or acute kidney issues, we'd suggest adding a natural rabbit kidney supplement like NHV Tripsy™ to your bunny's daily feeding schedule. It can safely be used short-term as well as long-term as a natural health support. Tripsy™ promotes healthy kidney, bladder, and urinary tract functions and may eliminate kidney stone formation in all of your bunny pals (both young and old).
How NHV’s Supplements Ease Rabbit Kidney Problems
Kidney issues can cause a lot of stress and worry in your Lop and Lionhead pals. Ingredients like parsley piert and stone root have diuretic properties that gently regulate urine flow, if on the low/infrequent side, to help keep things flowing normally and prevent the formation of kidney and bladder calculi (often called stones). Herbs like Wild hydrangea and Gravel root have traditionally been used for supporting kidney and urinary health by helping to break down, dissolve and remove stones and prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Other ingredients like Echinacea purpurea and Oregon grape's defense against microorganisms help combat infections. And lastly, Marshmallow soothes irritated internal tissues and protects cells from oxidative damage.
