Answer
Hi

I have done a bit of research for you and kidney stones is not something that piggies suffer from generally. Bladde stones is possible though.

I personally would get a second opinion from a vet that specialises in exotic pets like guinea pigs.

Keep the pig warm, but I really think that the first vet has given you the first thing that he thought of.

I wish you all the best and I am only sad i culdnt give you a fuller answer.
