Question
hey im just asking a question about guinea pigs health!! i have this female guinea pig for just over 5 years now and shes pissing out blood piss? is that normal or what does that mean? her companion also died eariler this week that was 3? years old, what does all this mean?

Answer
Daryl --

A guinea pig with blood in her urine most likely is having kidney problems.  I would also watch and see if she's drinking more water than usual.  However, I would suggest taking this animal to the vet as soon as possible to have her checked out and/or treated.

Hope this is helpful.  If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me.  Good luck!
