My guinea pig Zakky was diagnosed with cystitis. (he was bleeding from his little manhood) The vet gave us some antibiotics and we did that for one day, the nurse didn't give us enough for the recommended 5 days. He was on probiotics fibreplex for a few days. He didn't eat much, play much and had some runny poo and then the blood came back. We put it down to the assumption that it was either because of the short time on antibiotics or it had come back which it is possible. He was then put on a course of antibiotics not so much for 5 days and then more probiotics.
Just today i found some pee on the floor and when i mopped it up it was an orangey/brown colour on the tissue not really dark or red at all just faint.
so my questions are:
If he was still ill would he be eating and wheeking and popcorning because he was doing that today and also would giving him the probiotics for a period of time affect the colour of his wee because it is orange?
Its just frustrating because every time i go in and look in their cage i expect to find hay covered in blood and then think oh my god its not cystitis, its something worse.
Thanks for the help
