My guinea pig is bleeding

[isabell]

I just got back from vacatin and my female guinea pig is bleeding form her bottom she is 3 years old and this has never happened before my mother told me it’s just a period but I’m concerned that my little girls in some trouble. My brother says that this has been happening for a while. I just need some advice from people who actually have experience with guinea pigs.

This is Isabell, she is sleeping, I just want to know if I have to be very alarmed by this.

Guinea pigs do not bleed during their seasons like some animals, any bleeding is cause for concern. Please have her seen by a vet, it could be as simple as a UTI which a course of antibiotics will fix, if left it will only get worse and more expensive.

Guinea pigs do not have periods so she does need to be seen by a vet as soon as possible, it's likely she is in pain too. Bleeding could be a sign of a UTI but it could also be a sign of something more sinister such as a womb infection. Left untreated this could end up being fatal so it's definitely wise to get her dealt with sooner rather than later

Agree with other posts. Your piggies needs to see a vet urgently. Fresh frank blood (as we can see in your cage) is not normal. Piggies do not bleed like humans as part of their reproductive cycle. It could be a stone, a urine infection or a womb infection. Any of these require urgent attention at the vets.

As everyone else has said, please get her to a vet as an emergency. She certainly should not be bleeding at all.

I agree with the others. Please have her vet checked ASAP!
