Hi all, my guinea pig Holly has been backwards and forwards to the vets recently as i thought she had a UTI.
About 2 weeks ago i noticed she had a really wet bum so took her to the vets a couple of days later. When he squeezed her bladder area all this white/milky urine spurted out which he diagnosed as an infection. He took a sample and put her on a course of 0.4mls a day of an antibiotic called Baytril.
I took her back a couple of days later so he could check her again and he said that the sample had shown a rare form of bacteria and also showed that she has too much calcium in her urine so told me to continue with Baytril.
Well 2 weeks later and she is still wet around her bum area and i spoke to the vet again today and he said that Baytril should have killed the bacteria but he doesn't know what to suggest to get rid of the calcium which he thinks is causing the wetness.
Has anyone come across this before and can anyone recommend any treatments/diet supplements to help with this?
Any advice please would be greatly appreciated.
