Junior Guinea Pig
Okay, I'm posting again, because I'm freaking out. I'm sorry guys!
So, a while back, Midnight had crust on his eyes. I brought him to the vet, and they said it was allergies. Then a couple days ago, I found blood in his urine and he was in pain while urinating. I brought him back to the vet, and this time they scheduled me with the vet that performed his surgery, which I was happy about. She said that Midnight had extra skin on his anus, which had caused a fungal infection and consequently a UTI, OR he developed a UTI, and then a fungal infection. She said it's hard to say which happened first. After reading a bunch of other things, I'm beginning to think it was a yeast infection. Is that contagious to his cagemate?
Has anybody else dealt with this?
She prescribed him Baytril for 10 days, a cleaning solution, and panalog ointment to be applied twice a day after cleaning.
She said that if this didn't clear up after the ten days, we would have to take an X-ray to check for bladder stones.
It seriously breaks my heart to see him in so much pain while peeing. Is there anything else I can do for him?
