Bloat

Bloat, also known as gastrointestinal stasis, is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition in guinea pigs. It occurs when gas builds up in the digestive system, causing the stomach and intestines to expand.

Do no leave bloat symptoms to go away on their own!
We recommend getting your pet to an exotics vet as soon as you notice symptoms, as bloat can be life threatening for your critter!
