New Born Pup
Hi everyone. I have recently noticed that my 10 month old male is weeing blood. Yesterday I noticed a few red-ish/brown-ish spots in the cage and I thought it was either the stains from red pepper or strawberry (as he had had both in the days prior). However, minutes ago I witnessed him squeaking softly whilst weeing and there is most definitely blood left on the fleece after he was done. It’s gone midnight now and I am taking him to the vets first thing in the morning, but has anyone else experienced this? A Google search and browsing threads on here suggest that it could be a symptom of a UTI or bladder stones. But he is still eating and drinking normally, and he doesn’t seem to be in any pain when I touch his tummy. I suppose I will know more after the vets visit tomorrow, but as a first time guinea pigs owner it’s quite nerve wracking to experience.
P.S. I have another 12 month old boar who has the same diet and appears to be completely fine, no blood in his urine from what I can tell.
