Teenage Guinea Pig
Nancy has multiple things going on for her right now so I'm going to include them all in one thread.
So over a year ago she nearly had her ovaries removed, vet thought she could feel cysts and her behaviour indicated it. But on the day of the op the vet couldn't feel it anymore so it didn't go ahead. Since then she's been rumble strutting so many times a day, annoying Pumpkin. She at times has a couple of weeks, at most a month off and then restarts her behaviour for months. But the humping has got better.
January of this year she had smelly discharge and was put on baytril. March, she smelt again and was put on co-trimoxazole for a week. Then April, she was weeing blood. So she had an x-ray which ruled out bladder stones. She hasn't had her wee tested again, I asked about trying antibiotics, the vet said antibiotics aren't needed because she doesn't smell. And I think because she doesn't wee quite as much blood I assume.
The main thing I'm concerned about is her small wees. Can this happen due to sterile interstitial cystitis? She's not doing full wees. She is also squeaking at times when weeing and pooing. She's on cystease 1/2 capsule a day and metacam 0.4ml dog twice a day (she's 990g approx). She's also got little spots of blood in some of her wees.
She lost a tooth at the vets, probably when she was sedated.. Vet wants to see her soon anyway to check on how her tooth is growing in. I am seeing a recommended vet.
