Teenage Guinea Pig
I think i've posted in here before about my sow Rose, who is prone to UTI and has had numerous xrays for stones. Well on saturday morning she was not herself at all so off we went to my local vets (bc i thought it was another infection) and they basically said she needed to be spayed bc it was ovarian cysts (this was without an xray or even examining her :o ) i ended up having an arguement with the vet and walked out! :x
I got in touch with my rodentologist and explained what had happened, so she ended up in her care until today (she stopped eating and with both me and OH working we had no time to syringe feed her) and she thinks that theres a 99.9% chance that its a bladder stone, (the blood in her urine is off the scale) so we are off to a vets in Broxbourne this afternoon (its going to be a 90 mile round trip) to have her xrayed (they don't knock them out) and if it is a stone an op to sort her out, i've even had to pull a sickie from work. I'm so worried about her :... i'm scared that she will die if she has to have an op (lost 2 piggies during ops)
