I am off to my local vet with Loulou today as she was passing bloody urine late yesterday night. She is eating and drinking as normal (thank goodness) and other than a need to squat and wee a lot she is bright as normal. It looks like cystitis or a bladder infection of some kind. She isn't 6 months old yet poor little girl.
I am worried it is my fault, wrong foods and all that. I give my girls a good mixture but maybe too much? I am currently moving them over to Supa Guinea Excel so it is half and half with Gerty at the minute. Kale features strongly in the diet as does spring greens, carrots and cabbage, coriander, basil and occasionally broccolli.They also like grapes and cucumber. I am worried about the calcium levels. The kale is already in the bin. I only feed them veg twice a day but should I cut this down? Some advice please so I can try and prevent a recurrence. I know some piggies have a predisposition toward bladder probs...just praying Lou isn't one of them.
Here am I panicking and Lou lou? Having a good hay munch and looking at me as if to say *Chill Mum, just get me to a vet this morning." I am just pleased I have her indoors with me as her bum is clean at the moment and I wouldn't have known about the blood if I hadn't seen it late last night as I was passing by the cage. So pleased she is eating. I must go and calm down! Sorry!
