Junior Guinea Pig
Penelope has been having UTI’s off and on for some reason. The vet said her immune system probably isn’t what it used to be meaning that’s contributing to the UTI’s?
Anyways.. she went to the vet today and had them do a urinalysis to check for bacteria as her pee has been stinky again. I could hear her in the room when they did it and she was not happy. She has never been that vocal during it before. There was a lot of bacteria in her urine again so she will back on antibiotics. The vet did mention to me how vocal she was, clearly she was in discomfort when they were doing that.
However, on our way back home she is in pain. She was not in pain before this. She is still eating but is sitting puffed up. She had also started peeing blood now as well. There is definitely blood spots in her urine that I seen in her carrier. It seems like the expression of the bladder has caused this? I’m not sure if it may have pushed some sludge out and irritated her that way or the uti would be doing this? Just odd this wasn’t happening until the vet did that.
*I have plans on calling the vet in the morning. I noticed it after we left and they were closed. Just wanted to see what others thought or if they’ve had similar situations to this.*
