Question
Hello, my guinea pig is very uncomfortable in her tummy.  She may have a temperature and is leaking brownish urine.  Is this pyometra or something wrong with ovaries?  This is sunday and there is no useful 24hour emergency service here.  I am worried that she gets treated soon.  Could administering septrin help her until I can see a vet in the morning?

Answer
Hello Lisa!
I was very behind on my messages but luckily this one looked short, and you are lucky!
I do hope that you havent given her any yet, for that is highly, highly toxic t guinea pigs and should never ever be given to them. The only thing you can really do is try giving her some PURE cranberry jiuce, not cranberry cocktail. This can be found at your local health food store, but try to buy the smallest amount thay have, because this is probably the most awful drink you could have. It tastes like vomit, but some giunea pigs like it. Try this, and take her to the vet ASAP in the morning.
