Question
I have a male guine pig and went he pops and pee he bleeds? can you please tellme what to do.

Answer
Hello Deicy,

He may have a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), Pyometra, Interstitial Cystitis, or Bladder or Kidney Stones. All require veterinary care. Stones can be deadly if left untreated and he doesn't pass them on his own. Most boars can't because of a small urethra and the stone can cause a blockage. He'll also need antibiotics or the infections caused by these illnesses (or the infections the illnesses are in some cases) can kill him. Blood in his urine or feces is a very serious thing that needs treatment. Good luck with him. I hope he gets well soon.
