So my female guineapig is 10 months old . Last night she had carrot . And I've noticed today while she was peeing she was crying and the pee was slightly pink . Also there was a white stain after rhe pee dried. I'll take her to the vet but is there any home remedy or something that could help her ? Tia
 
No I’m afraid there are no home remedies. If you suspect a bladder issue then you need to see a vet

The white when the urine dried is calcium excretion. It is normal for piggies to excrete excess calcium in their urine and when dried it should feel like a powdery deposit. If it happens a lot or if the deposits feel gritty (like sand) then it is a sign the calcium balance in the diet may be wrong.

Increased calcium pees can sometimes happen at the very start of a urinary tract infection or a cystitis (a bladder infection).
Be aware that it usually takes around 5 days for very on and off symptoms, like red pees and squeaking to become consistent. Normal pees can test high for blood and porphyrine coloured intensely red pees can test free of blood (happened to me).
I would recommend that you wait but see a vet at the start of next week when the symptoms have firmed up and are easier to diagnose.
 
I'll attach two photos of her pee . Today's situation
