Question
my guinea pig has been bleeding i thought it was a period. but she isnt eating and from what i can tell she isnt drinking either...
 what can this be? and what should i do to help?
i have tried everything to get her to eat and drink and she wont... and i dont think she is pooping anymore either.


Answer
Hi Amber.  It sounds like a bad infection, maybe an UTI.  Sounds like some kind of Sulfa based antibiotic might be helpful, but you'll have to take her to the vet for that.  Try to get some food and water in her - even some veggies have water in them, offer her her favorites.  She has to have water to live, all living creatures do.
Good luck, and get her to a vet soon - needs antibiotics.
