New Born Pup
Hello!
I have a 3 1/2 year old guinea pig who went to the vet this last Thursday from blood in his urine. He’s dealt with bladder sludge for almost a year and now he’s formed a stone. He heading into surgery on Monday and I am terrified. I want him to be okay and trying to prepare myself. He’s healthy otherwise but I’m so scared.
While rechecking all of his food and snacks I realized that his food was made out of alfalfa meal and I feel so guilty I may have caused it. I know some Guinea pigs are predisposed but I’ve been feeling this to him for years. Will changing this food to a lower calcium Timothy based pellet can this help prevent another stone?
Have any advice for post op care, pre op, surgery itself or any stories you’d like to share as I navigate this nightmare?
If you are religious, please keep him in your prayers for a successful surgery and speedy recovery. I feel even worse that I’m in college so I won’t get to be with him. He’s such an amazing fun loving sassy boy and he deserves the world.
Thank you
