Might be an idea to take them all, the vet will sort out what's going on. Sounds if one of yours has a bladder infection.
 
Put them in a washing bowl, or mixing bowl, you can always bleach it afterwards, I think you may have to the sample with you, but I,m not sure on that. I'll tag a couple of people that can help. @Adelle @sport_billy
 
Temperature conjunctivitis and maybe infection separate them and see Witch one has blood in we and ring bk tomoz but has eye cream and antibiotics so hopefully that will sort it
 
If there blood in the pee then could be a tumber because that's what the vet told us.hope your piggies are ok
 
Blood in wee can be caused by a number of conditions e:g: a urine infection - a small bladder stone which has been passed - a bladder which will need surgery to be removed - Interstitial Cystitis ( IC) - or a tumour .

@Bugs mum - The 1st thing to do is work out which Guinea Pig is weeing blood so, I suggest you get a sample as @Tiamolly123 has already explained.

I started a thread a while ago when Bess was having problems. I wasn't successful in getting a sample - but the pictures may help .

Still no sign of anymore blood so put them all bk together will be keeping a close eye on them boy seem a bit quiet but I expect that coz of med the other 2 have started to fight is that normal after being apart over night they were all kept apart but next to each other
 
What antibiotics where given for the eye again please? Am tagging @Wiebke in for you. Is the one with the poorly eye the one with the blood in the wee?

Please weigh him daily and if necessary, top him up with mushed pellets.
I gather that the antibiotic is an eye gel? Keep treating the eye regularly to help with the healing and the discomfort.

Keep an eye out for more bloody pees. At the very beginning of a UTI, red coloured pees (which do not necessarily contain lots or even any blood while seemingly clear blood can contain a fair amount) can be somewhat on an off. If one of them is working on a urinary tract infection, it is going to become more obvious over the next few days.

ok ty for the help is it normal after separating them over night for 1 to be a territorial with the others and fight

When you separate, you always have to stage a reunion on neutral ground. there is going to be a certain amount of dominance behaviour, especially if hormones are still on high.

You can wait safely 1-2 days without breaking the bond. However, as long as the disputes stay this side of the limit, please do not split again straight away as it can contribute to further destabilising the bond.
 
Okay ty so much for advice I only separated them coz of the blood in urine to see who it was I felt so horrible separating them when all they did was try to get through the cages to each other
