uti

Hi everyone! I'm having so much trouble trying to find a decent vet, they seem to have very little (or no) knowledge on Guinea pigs. I've spoken to Vedra a few times and she's been really knowledgable and helpful but as you all probably know she is so difficult to get hold of. She gave me the...

Hi everyone, if anyone could give me any thoughts/advice id greatly appreciate it. About a month ago my 3 year old female pig wasnt acting herself, we took her to the vet who prescribed baytril and metacam. She finished her course and then suddenly starting getting a wet bottom, she was soaking...

Hello again all, Weasley's bloat fired up again less than a day after being cleared of his bloat and UTI and marked as healthy by the vet (I wasn't very impressed). He's been back off his veg and on Emeprid and Metacam since Tuesday morning. I am a bit concerned about his poops doign somethign...

Hi everyone :) first post here and a newish piggy owner, not sure if I'm being an over worrier or not! I got two six week old female rescue pigs in April, and was devastated when one got poorly and wheezy very quickly and died within 24 hours a fortnight ago. We've waited this couple of weeks...

Hello. Was wondering if you could offer me some advice. I have a 10 month old long haired boar called Bob. The past few weeks I noticed that he was squeaking when peeing /pooping. After checking him over I found that he had a small amount of hair that had got trapped inside his boar parts. I...

Hi everyone, One of our piggies has had blood in her urine for the last couple of days. We took her to the vets and he was fairly certain she had a UTI and she is now on Baytril antibiotics. If this doesn't clear it up, she will need blood tests, and if nothing shows up she'll need an x-ray...

Hello! After many many many rubbish and useless vet visits from far and wide, I seem to have found a thorough and very informative and so far brilliant vet very local. Bear has been showing discomfort when urinating and pooing recently sometimes accompanied by squeaking but that was much less...

The on going bladder issues with Ted continue. He had a blood clot in his bladder removed about a month ago. He was very ill after and nearly died. Last week he started crying when he was weeing again so was put on baytril on Monday. It's now Saturday and there is no improvement. He's still...

My Guinea pig, lucky (ironically), is a female and she's about 4 and a half years old. She's got a sister who's much much (about .5lb) heavier than she is and my Lucky got much thinner over the past few months, you can feel her bones all over. Recently I've heard grunting and squeals (painful)...

Ok, so if any of you saw my other thread under Specialist about a suspected Piggie sprain, you'll know my Pig has been poorly since June. So June was a suspected sprain. He started hobbling around one day and got gradually worse over a few days until he was refusing to walk. X rayed and all...
