Does the food I’m providing meet my dog’s
nutritional needs? As our knowledge of the relationship between diet and
health continues to advance and as the range of foods available for dogs continues
to expand, it’s more important than ever to base feeding choices on
good information.
The information in this pamphlet is based on Nutrient Requirements of Dogs
and Cats, a technical report issued by the National Research Council as part
of its Animal Nutrition Series. The Food and Drug Administration relies on
information in the report to regulate and ensure the safety of pet foods. Other
reports in the series address the nutritional needs of horses, dairy cattle, beef
cattle, nonhuman primates, swine, and small ruminants. Scientists who study
the nutritional needs of animals use the Animal Nutrition Series to guide
future research.

Some staff members in the store are even confused in telling if a cavy is male or female. Usually, the only basis of pregnancy is a big bulging abdomen. This is not applicable for all because some are very obese, thus the prominent abdomen is present.

A Female Guinea Pig

The most important thing to determine is your guinea pig’s gender. The female should have a smooth swelling in the genital area. A Y-shaped opening should be observed if you slowly part the genitals. Male guinea pigs or boars have penises. You can check it by pressing the genital area to expose the penis. Be sure to ease the penis out in heavier cavies because it is usually tucked inside the folds of the skin.

Eating a Lot

Are you refilling the food bowl and the water bottle more often? If you are, then you should suspect your guinea pig to be pregnant. Doubling of food and water requirements are expected throughout the course of pregnancy. Don’t keep your sow on a diet for it might kill her and her babies. She will also need to have those extra vitamins and minerals. Be sure to support her dietary needs but not to the extent of overfeeding her.

Sex Life

If the sow is pregnant, you will observe that the mating rituals or related activities stopped. This indicates that the sow’s normal estrus cycle ceased. This is to give way for the growing babies. Pheromones which are scents to determine the readiness of the female to mate will also be unavailable. This is the reason why you won’t observe the male sniffing the sow’s behind unlike before.

More Sleep

Like humans, sows sleep a lot during pregnancy. This allows her to conserve much energy she will need during labor and delivery of her babies. Make sure you don’t disturb her to promote rest, just remember to monitor her closely if she is still breathing. Some complications of guinea pig pregnancy are coma and death.

Frequent Urination

She will have frequent urination because the growing uterus will compress the urinary bladder. Clean the area more often and provide more absorbable bedding to promote dryness and comfort.
