Emergency HELP! Loud squeaks when pooing and drops of blood

[Tee]

Hello all!joined this forum because I am DESPERATE for advice! Our guinea pig squeaks loudly as he poops then we see drops of blood. He is still eating and drinking as normal.

Your piggy needs to see a vet. We we not able to diagnose the problem as we are not vets, only a hands on check by a vet will be able to help and give the correct treatment

 

[Tee]

The blood makes it a serious issue

 

[Piggies&buns]

Yes it does, that is why your piggy needs to be taken to a vet

 

[Tee]

Does he need to be kept separate from the other Guinea pig?

No, no need to separate them. Staying together is important.

No, no need to separate them. Staying together is important.

Oh really? Was thinking if it is an infection it could be caught by the other Guinea pig.

 

[Piggies&buns]

No. There is no need to separate in this case.
Even if it was caused by a contagious illness then your other piggy is already exposed so separating would be too late in any event.
Piggies are better off to stay together.

Conflicted because I have to go to work and won't make it home t

No. There is no need to separate even if it is an infection. Even if it was an infection then your other piggy is already exposed so separating would be too late in any event.

That is true.Makes sense.

If you need to go to work have you someone who could take him to the vet? He really does need to see a vet.

Sadly no
But will be taking him immediately I am done
It has been a hard decision

What do you mean you are done? If it’s an infection, it is easily treatable by a knowledgeable vet

 

[Swissgreys]

Is it possible to take a few hours off work this morning to get him seen.
I understand that it isn't always easy, but if your boy is ill and in pain then it is also important he is seen as soon as possible.
It may also be a blockage which its treatable but urgent but until you see a vet you have no way of knowing.
