has my guinea got a urine infection

[Animal]

My guinea pig squeaks when he wees. He's eating and drinking ok but his urine is a cloudy white colour. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

A cloudy white colour is normal for guinea pig wee!
If in any doubt though take I would take him to the vets, also, check his wee regularly for blood.
Sorry I can't be more help!
We would love some pictures of your little man.

P.s, welcome to the forum!

Squeaking whilst weeing isn't normal.

Your vet will need to examine him, it could be your piggie has a urine infection (UTI) and he could need to be prescribed antibiotics.

Welcome to the forum, your piggie does need to be seen by a vet as squeaking when weeing may indicate a UTI.

It will be worth taking a urine sample down to the vets with you so the vet can test it. To get a urine sample you will need:

1 x sterile pot
2 x 1ml syringe
1 x large Tupperware or bowl


The way we do it is to carefully syringe piggle some water using one syringe or if your not comfortable with syringing water - feed them some very very wet veg, cucumber, lettuce, soaking wet celery Leaves are good for this.
Then place your pig in bowl or large Tupperware and wait for nature to take it's course...
After piggy has had a wee, suck the wee up using the other syringe into the sterile pot. Place pot in fridge until you take it to the vets.

Sending lots of healing vibes your piggies way.

Thank you to you all it was really helpful. I have been monitoring him today giving him fresh veggies etc and making sure he's drinking. He seems a little better but I will act on your advice Cheers and thanks from animal!
