Hello All, I just want to share my experience with my beautiful Guinea pig who had 2 bladder stones. I took her to vet to do a check since she was acting a bit off and they did an X ray which showed no stones. Two months later, I had to follow up and did another X ray, this is where they found...

Last week we noticed blood in Tiny's urine, so of course we took him to the vets. We were given a week of Baytril and Metacam, which we completed with no improvement. We took Tiny back to the vets on Wednesday, and they took an ultrasound and spotted a bladder stone, so he had surgery that...

They’ve have done an ultrasound and said she has bladder sludge and a stone, quoted £1300-1400 for the operation to remove it. Is this the general cost? She...

Hi everyone, I’m hoping this reaches the right people. I’m based in LA and my boy Chewie is going to need surgery to remove his bladder stone. I’m attaching a photo of it. I got to do the x-rays with Dr. Nenn at the LA Guinea pig rescue (you may have seen him in Saskia’s recent video). Dr. Nenn...

Hi everyone, I posted recently our turmoil on if we should take our boy for bladder surgery or not, having discovered he had stones about 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately he became quite obviously poorly on Monday, (he was managing happily with meds until then) and we ended up taking him for an...

Hi there, Sorry for the long post, but we’d really appreciate any advice, stories, anyone can give. Our boy is about 4-5 years old (he was a rescue so unsure exactly), and about 3 weeks ago developed signs of bladder stones. He’s seen the vet twice, been given pain relief, anti inflammatories...

My guinea pig had a surgery for bladder stone yesterday and he passed away. I’m really breaking down and can’t function. He was my little baby. How was that possible. I read so many success stories :(.

Hello all, I have a boar named Laszlo who is unknown age (someone dumped him outside and I found him) but estimated to be at least 4yo. Long story short, we have been dealing with chronic UTIs with multiple negative x-rays for months. I see a great exotic vet who I trust. 3 days ago, he had a...

My piggy Nutmeg, 4 years 9 months old, had surgery 2 weeks ago for a bladder stone that was stuck in his urethra. He was under anaesthetic for 4 hours (!) and lost a lot of blood. He had an x ray done the day before it became stuck and we were told it was sludge not a stone, but that’s a whole...
