Female guinea pig bleeding after being spayed 2 weeks ago?

[gigilover123]

Hello, I got my guinea pig gigi march 7th, and she was pregnant with one pup who got stuck and had to be surgically removed, when the vet finished she spayed gigi as well. I gave gigi antibiotics for about 5-6 days and her wound is completely healed, and until tonight there was no prior problems. 2 days ago gigi was having some gas? I think? Her stomach was very hard and I took her out and she pooped 20+ times and her stomach shrank a lot and was a lot more soft and squishy. And now she is bleeding all over her new house from her vagina and cries when she poops. She does NOT take antibiotics so I soak it in some watermelon but she isn't eating it and is only eating her hay. The vet is closed until Monday which is tomorrow, and even then they aren't taking walk ins and only appointments. Is this an emergency? What do I do? It's also 11 pm and no stores are open. There are no emergency vets and my only trust worthy vet doesn't accept anything any 10 am, I'm still going to try and make an appointment but in the mean time what should I do? I also live in the panhandle of Texas and all other vets I've been to for small animals were awful and killed my pet rat with dog medicine and killed my dog by not diagnosing, so I don't want to take her to this other vet and only trust this one other small animal vet with her.

Also she was spayed on the 16th.

One more thing I just noticed she hasn't pooped in about 3 hours? Maybe more or less. But she's eating and drinking a lot of hay and water. She is peeing but no poop does this have anything to do with everything else?

Hi, sorry you are going through this at this time. Yes this should be treated as an emergency and your vet see her in the morning. As she is still eating and drinking that is a good sign but the bloat you describe needs to be treated asap and a vet investigate the bleeding. In the meantime keep her warm and comfortable. There is a guide on here somewhere about how to syringe pigs/give meds

@Wiebke can you help?

Hi!

I am ever so sorry, but I fully agree with @Pound Shilling & Pig : this is an emergency.

Below is our emergency and post op care information and also information on bloating. As long as your girl is still eating and drinking, she is not yet critical but the sooner the bleeding and bloat can be dealt with, the greater her chances.

Tips For Post-operative Care
Emergency, Crisis and Bridging Care until a Vet Appointment
Digestive Disorders: Diarrhea - Bloat - GI Stasis (No Gut Movement) And Not Eating

Finger crossed!

Thank you I know, I still haven't been able to get her in yet but I really don't have a clue what's going on with her. Do you have any guesses as to what's going on? Or any food I can give her? Is spinach good or bad for her? I gave my rat who had the same problem some and she stopped bleeding and her spirits were raised the next day.

Please read the green links in my first post. They contain vital information that can make the difference between life and death.
We are all doing this for free in our free time and cannot give you the full advice in just two short sentences and we are not necessarily around all the time. For that purpose I have written the guides. They are as practical and step-by-step as I can make it.

You take any bloated piggy off any fresh food, as stated in the bloating guide together with other measures, which I would strongly recommend that you read up on, so you know what to do if she suddenly starts going downhill.

We cannot say what has happened; continue to try and get her to the vets as soon as possible before she start deteriorating. my guess is that an internal scar may have burst. whether the bloating is the cause or just a reaction is for your vet to decide and to investigate.

Please continue to try to get a vet appointment as soon as possible; the sooner the better.
