New Born Pup
Hello,
I am Collin and together with my wife we own 2 guinea pigs (brothers)
Our guinea Chase was diagnosed with a bladderstone 5 weeks ago. A week later we had it removed and luckily the surgery went well and he felt like himself again in about 24 hours. For 3,5 weeks it has been going well. We completely changed his diet to low calcium and give him medication prescribed by our vet to (hopefully) prevent it from happening again… but 3/4 days ago i could hear him cry out in pain again while urinating and he once again has bloody urine. This is exactly what his first bladder stone experience looked like so i can only be afraid. Is it common for a guinea pig to develop a stone again so soon?
Chase and clover are two brother guinea pigs born in april 2021 so they are pretty young still.
