Hello everyone, I'm after some advice/opinions on the treatment given to my two year old female guinea pig recently for blood in her urine. A couple of weeks ago I noticed she appeared to have done one orange/pale red coloured wee. I think she did squeak a little bit as if in slight...

Hello, my female Guinea pig has just weed this bright red urine. She hasn’t eaten anything which I think could have caused it to become this colour. She does seem in some discomfort but no squeaking or anything that I have noticed. She is eating and moving around. She has also jsut had quite a...

Hello, everyone, I've noticed that my guinea pig's pee, once ascended, has become this color. I will preface this by saying that the guinea pig only eats hay and some pellets (on vet's advice). The guinea pig eats and seems fine to me. Should I be worried?

Hi! My 3.5 year old Piggie Ralphina had blood in her urine 2 weeks ago so I went to the emergency vet, did X-rays, no stones, they said it was UTI and gave her pain meds and antibiotics. Did that for a week, didn’t see any blood, finished the meds a few days ago, then came home from work last...

Hi! I’m looking for help. I have a female Guinea pig that started to do a pink pee, after that a red pee, and also she was squeaking doing pee/poop. I took her to the vet, she started taking the medication (sulfamethoxazole 0.5ml at every 12 hours and meloxicam 0.2mg, one pill and after a couple...

Hi guys! (Sorry I only seem to come on when I need help, it’s been really difficult with losing piggies and poorly piggies I’ve been finding it hard to come on.) After losing Iggy last year I thought my bladder troubles were behind me but boy was I wrong. My beautiful Andromeda has started...

My Guinea pig has been losing weight slowly these past few weeks. The other night I noticed pink blood and was hoping it was something she ate. It continues to be red. There are no vets open today and I have I’ll try to get her in tomorrow but any advice on what I should be doing for her right...

Hi everyone, been a while posting here - always seems to be when something is wrong! (I am so grateful for this forum in times of need!) So I had to take my 5yr old sow Jessie to the after hours vet this eve, after she hadn't eaten for nearly 3 hours. Noticed she was in need of a good bum wash a...

Recently penelope went to the vet to have her teeth checked and nails trimmed. I’ve noticed she’s had quite smelly pee lately and have been giving her the Sherwood urinary support tablets that are supposed to be fantastic. She ever so kindly peed on the table for the vet 🤣 and they tested it. He...

Hi everyone, One of my piggies, Charlie (about a year old) gave birth last November to 3 healthy babies (she was unknowingly pregnant when I got her last September). Since then, she has been struggling with dirty wet urine bum (with no other symptoms) and despite my best efforts to keep her...

Hi everybody! I was holding my baby, Minnie. Minnie peed on a towel I was holding her with and her pee smelt insanely bad and potent. Also this stuff also appeared in the area she had peed. Now I’m not sure if it was there before but I messed with it with a toothpick to see it’s...

Dear all! I am turning to you now for advice about a ~3 year old sow with an extremely mysterious case of intermittent whimpering/crying during urination/defecation. The symptoms started last summer(ish), but they subsided within a couple of weeks, with the vet (cavy-savvy) not finding anything...

My piggy has been slowly but steadily losing weight; over the last 10 days he's lost 100g. He's a recently diagnosed dental piggy (January this year) so doesn't have much weight on him due to that, so he is now getting dangerously underweight (800g this morning). For reference he's 3.5 years old...

Hi guys, Sorry to be that annoying newbie immediately looking for advice. I found this on my pigs bed today, it looks like a weird poo with calcium deposits around it. The stone looking bit was like soft grit. I know its relatively normal for pigs to excrete excess calcium through urine, but...

I've posted on here several times (so very sorry!) about having taken my girls to the vet on Monday, December 2 in large part due to the fact that the frequency of their poops had gone down significantly. They were prescribed Bactrim (SMZ-TMP) to take twice daily in case it was the start of an...

My girls went to the vet on Monday, December 2 and were prescribed Bene-Bac Plus Microbial Gel (given by mouth once daily for 10 days) and Bactrim/SMZ-TMP (given by mouth twice daily for 10 days) to aid in what she believed was the start of an infection. Since then, I have noticed that their...

I bought some of those at home urinalysis dip sticks when we had a UTI scare with one of my boys. Since then, I have periodically been testing their urine for any abnormalities. Over the past few weeks, I have realised that the result seems to come up with high protein content (but nothing...

I’ve had my 2 month old skinny pig sow out for lap time and I’ve just noticed that after she urinated there was some mucus attached to her genitals. Her urine looks completely normal and there is no mucus in her urine it’s just attached to her afterwards. I wiped it off, the first bit was...
