I noticed that my guinea pigs stomach is getting really big. It feels soft on the sides and hard in the middle, she has always been a skinny minny. She lives with a male pig, but he was nuetered. Could he have still gotten her pregnant? Or it could it be some other medical problem?

 

Optional Information:
Age: 3; Female; Breed: guinea pig

Already Tried:

When was he was neutered?

After he was neutered, how soon did you put her with him?

How long have you noticed the the swelling?

Reply to Danielle's Post: Yoda was neutered around 2 1/2 to 3 years ago... he is also about 3 years old.
He was put with my female guinea pig right after he was neutered.
Her tummy seemed alittle swollen a few weeks ago and the hard feeling thing in her tummy was smaller too. So i wasnt sure that anything was actually a problem at that point.
