My guinea pig lost a toe

Umgang mit kranken Schweinchen, Therapien, Medikamente und Heilungsverlauf.

    Today i realised that my Flicka lost one toe from the back foot. Now she has one foot with 2 teeth. What shell I do? :shock: That's so horrible! Running, jumping - no problem but a guinea pig losing a toe? :?
    it would be nice if someone could help
    desperata hälsningar, Pierre

    Hey Pierre!


    Wow, I'd never heard from a missing toe..
    Sounds like it isn't a problem for her, right?


    I dunno how a guinea pig can loose a toe.. maybe ..from fighting with other pigs? or she was been caught with her foot and loose her toe?
    Hope she's fine!

    Maybe she was born without the toe. Do you have her since she was a baby?


    It probably bleeds like hell, if a toe is cut. So I don´t think this happened when she was with you already.

    Hey pierre,


    do you mean the toe or the claw??


    my guinea pig lost her claw two months ago, but she lived without it very good and now she already have her claw again.


    so don´t worry if its the claw.
    But I don´t know what you can do if it´s the TOE !?


    I hoe you understand my English :wink:


    Hope that she´ll gets fine soon :)
