Question
i have had my guinea pig tickles for about 6 years. She has been peeing out blood. but this is not the first time. i would like to know how to help her and what the cause is?

Answer
Hi Courtney,

    I'm terribly sorry for the delay with this response.  I suggest that you immediately consult a veterinarian who is experienced in the area of guinea pigs for a proper diagnosis.  It sounds like your guinea pig may be suffering from bladder stones or a urinary tract infection.  Here is a helpful website that will offer more detailed information and pictures concerning urinary tract infections and bladder stones:

    Thank you for your question, I hope I have been of some help to you and, once again, I'm sorry I took so long to respond.  Good luck with your guinea pig (=
