Please get them to a vet asap Kimberly, red diarreah does not sound good. Some Rabbit food does contain a chemical which is harmful to piggys so take the food along too just incase.

i took them to the vet a few hours after i wrote in.they are both on medicine and need yogurt twice a day. the vet that we took them to said she has raised and delt with guinea pigs her whole life. she said by the time you buy guinea pig food in the store there is no longer vitamin c left in it so we should give them 30-60grams of childrens chewable vitamin c. thanks for caring susie  |

So sorry you lost her. I don't know about the lice. Mites are actually more common.
