This needs a vet visit to get sorted out. It could be a variety of things (bladder stones, a urinary tract infection), but either way it will require a proper assessment to diagnose and treat, as well as antibiotics which are only by prescription.
 
Yes, please visit a vet as soon as possible
 
Your piggie does need to see a vet, and hopefully it is only the early stages of a urinary infection and can be quickly treated with antibiotics.
If you let us know your rough location we can help steer you towards a piggy savvy vet.
 
Hi Shawn I have merged your threads so all the advice is in one place for you. I can only echo what other members have said about visiting a vet. Urinary infections aren't uncommon but can only be treated by antibiotics so you will need a vet in order to get appropriate treatment and maybe some pain relief to keep piggy comfortable

Hmm, depending on where in Malaysia, you might have a hard time finding a good guinea pig vet.
I would do some searching on treating urinary infections before you go.
Knowing things like Septrin is a good antibiotic, and Metacam is a good anti inflammatory and pain reliever could be helpful.
Also if you don't feel the vet is experienced with guinea pigs, come home and check everything on a reliable site (here, Guinea Lynx) before giving your piggy any medication. For example not all vets know that steroids cn't be used in guinea pigs.

Good luck - I hope you get to a vet very soon.

yes it's true, it's very hard to find vet tht able to treat guinea pig here. Once when i took them to the vet,the vet didn't even check on them she just have a look on them and subscribe medication.
 
I took them to the vet today and doc gave antibiotics to monitor them first to see if it's infection or she having stone

Baytril is fine to give but if you notice her having softer poos than normal or if she loses her appetite, speak to your vet again about her having probiotic along ad baytril can sometimes cause them to have soft poos
