Yep still pinkish redAny more pink or red in the pee?
She squeaks while peeing not other than thatDoes it still seem like she's in pain?
@Lady Kelly it's 723 grams right now
I definitely feel better now I just took a painkiller for my throbbing head ache and would sleep some hours now to get my mind on track thank u everyone i would keep u updated!❤❤❤
I really hope the vet hasn't made you pay for anything. Just do you're best to try and get an antibiotic from a vet. It might be all you can doJust came back from the vet..... He said he can't say it do anything because he doesn't knows about guinea pigI showed him this forum as a help too but he refused
I asked him can anyone else see my piggy here and he suggested a general vet but I checked him on Google and he has only 1 star reviewed by 22 people
I don't know what to do
Actually we can't buy here any medicine without the doctors prescription it's illegal I begged that vet showing the links wiebke sent me that please give is a written prescription of a metacam and enfloraxin so if anything worse happens we could give her a very little amount to see if it helps but he clearly said no I can't give u thatI really hope the vet hasn't made you pay for anything.

They are not even giving me meloxicamNot all cystitis needs antibiotics. Often it can be inflammatory cystitis that responds well to an anti-inflammatory pain relief such as Metacam/Loxicom.
I think I can buy ibuprofen online will it be fine? The link @Wiebke sent me had it in it too
I tried calling I think 4-5 vets in my city more no one is ready to check her right nowIbuprofen is less than ideal for guinea pigs and is really your very last resort. Please try and see whether you can find a vet that is willing to see you.
I tried calling I think 4-5 vets in my city more no one is ready to check her right nowone said he is in usa right now and would come back till 5-7 days
No not at all I won't give it to her I ll just try to keep one extra if things escalate down suddenly or something happens and that too if that happens I ll try to give it to her very less until then we are waiting for the vet to come back to India and take his prescription and then buy medicineIf he is willing to see you, then please see him as soon as he is back. You have about 3-5 days before things get fully going anyway, so the gap is not as long as you may think. Many of our US or Canadian members have to wait for that length of time to get a vet appointment even for an urgent problem anyway.
Please do not give any painkiller on spec without their being any symptoms.

Thank you don't worry I decided not to buy it I ll wait till 5-6 days until the vet comesNo I'm not saying buy it not at a vets, but if you could use one of the antibiotics mentioned in here, and try get any vet to give you some. Then i think that would be better than leaving a possible uti untreated. I mean I could be wrong, I don't think I am though. Hope all is well soon.
I would never buy any animal medicine or medicine for myself online or anywhere else other than a vet or a pharmacy
I feel yor pain , living where there are little to no vets that treat guinea pigs. Not ideal atall, but how the hell were you to know they need specialist vets, like you saidI wish pet shops educate their customers about the needs of guinea pigs. I rescued my 2 piggies from a really bad pet shop they were ready to be dog food but I was right on time. I never thought they would need a specialized vet. Nevermind though I ll not complain and try to find a vet or some meloxicam for my piggy
