Hi
I'm danny But I'm gonna skip the intros as i need help urgently!

I found a magpie pecking at a baby guinea pig,i've took it in and given it multi vitimin in the water. Its seems to be bleeding from the bum or is *** the normal colour for wee a sort of orangey more reddy colour.

Its got food and water and toys as my mice recently died :( i've washed the scent off :) Not sure if she will make it through the night. Its female i checked :) no ''Package''

Thanks alot
Danny
 
Thanks for taking the baby in, Danny!

Guinea pig wee can discolour to a rusty/orangey colour, but it's worth showing the baby to a vet as soon as possible - especially in this weather! Sadly, you are not the only one who has found a piggy outside in the last few days.

Whereabouts are you?
Here is a list of rescues, so you could try and ring the nearest one to you:

They might also help you with a vet.
 
Oh dear me, lucky you were there to take in the poor little piggy.

I too would ring the vets and get her checked out as she shouldn't be bleeding.
 
nearest vets is closed :( And sadly the little one has passed away and crossed the bridge
R.I.P Rogue Run free at the boarder.
8... :0
And I'm about 10 miles from blackpool and all the vets close on sunday
 
So sorry, hope there are no more out there, where can it have come from, have any of your neighbours got guineas. Can't of come too far surely.
 
down my nans end of the street thers 5 houses none of whom have guinea pigs , and to be honest i would not have given the piggy bk or told them *** its dead . If its a little kiddys he/she would have been upset and i think if they think shes just run away they will feel better than if they new shes dead

Any Way

Thanks
I'd never had experience in guinea pigs but i have had Mice and A hamster 3 Cats and recently 2 dogs who have been homed due to my dad getting a new job which means hes travelling alot so they would not get looked after :(

P.S * can delete this account now as i wont be getting any guinea pigs i made it just to see if i could get any help to keep the little one alive.
 
Sorry to hear this didn't have a happier ending. :( I know you from All About Mice forum, don't I? :)
 
Well done for finding her. I am very sorry she died but she would have had some happy moments at the end of her life.
 
I am sorry the guinea didn't make it, thank you for trying to help her.
