Scurvy is a severe dietary deficiency of vitamin C in guinea pigs that leads to collagen production impairment, tissue breakdown, internal haemorrhaging, anaemia, and general weakness.

Loss of appetite, swollen joints, difficulty walking, bleeding gums, or lethargy are common signs of vitamin C deficiency requiring prompt veterinary attention. Delaying treatment can result in severe pain, impaired mobility, poor wound healing, and irreversible complications in guinea pigs.
