https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/20290/lethal-white-guinea-pigHi, just wondering if anyone has treated one of these? The patient is an 8 week old F white Peruvian guinea pig. She has unilateral micropthalmia and appears to be blind. She is also dead as far as I can make out. She only has 2 incisors, one upper anden-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/122185?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 07 Oct 2014 17:59:54 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:38cdce76-bb4f-42b6-a948-0edd20a3c337Rebecca MacMillan<p>[quote user=&quot;Suzanne Kelly&quot;]Wah!

Lethals are usually blind or missing eyes, deaf, deformed missing teeth and bad digestive systems. They can survive usually with hand feeding of Critical Care, but generally they don&#39;t live very long and it is usually down to the owner if they want to carry on with a special needs pig &quot;</p> <p>Hope that helps!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/122079?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 06 Oct 2014 17:48:41 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:8d09f876-2631-4480-8db8-a6fcb6b58c4atess<p>Our receptionist has about 60 g-pigs and knows lots about breeding/genetics.

I think he died suddenly with no obvious cause aged around 2.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
