So pleased she is still with you :) Have you got some sterile unopened 1ml syringes (without needle) ? I suggest you put her in a clean plastic container/bowl about an hour or so before your exotic appointment next week, feed her some cucumber then wait for her to wee. Suck up some urine with the syringe then take that with you to the appointment so the vet can test it for you. Meanwhile I would give the Tramodol & Metacam at different times (Morning/evening) to cover pain relief during the day. She might have a urine infection & need antibiotics but the exotics vet will presribe those for you. How is she today? More comfortable?

GOOD NEWS!
We took Oreo to the vets last night. Talked about medication to keep her pain at bay until her appointment with the exotics vet next week and she was given Tramadol So, she's on 2 a day and her metacam which I'm going to split half of for longer pain relief. I have so much hope now and thank you all for your lovely comments. Will keep you all updated. So glad I came here for advice and didn't go ahead with euthanasia as she has so much fight in here! COME ON OREO! You got this x

That is great news! Having fight in her is a huge part of the battle... my vet has said before that Sundae must have the heart of a lion in the body of a guinea pig because she is feisty and copes so well with pain/discomfort. She has had some health issues (besides the bladder she also had a huge jaw abscess that needed surgery and dental trimming and took forever to heal), but she keeps on running around, never stopped eating, and is generally tough as nails!
 
She lost her fight yesterday and we had to help her along to rainbow bridge it got to the point where tramadol, Metacam & baytril was not helping her pain. She started to pass tiny bloody clots, lost an alarming amount of weight and was tired of being in pain. I miss her so badly. It's horrible without her. Sleep tight little one, I love you. Thank you all for your support xxxxxx
