Hey guys, I have 3 Abyssinian Guinea Pigs, 1 of which, a female, has mixed Peruvian lineage (her name's Sophie). Just a week ago, we've noticed that she hasn't been eating much--we chalked this up to changing their food brand however, despite the fact that the other 2 pure breed Abyssinians (a male and a female) seem alright with the food. Just recently, while filling up their drinkies, I've noticed that there's blood underneath Sophie's cage--since it's a slightly elevated cage made of wires, you can see this thick, viscous liquid hanging--you can liken it to mucus but only bright red in colour.
So I washed her up and I couldn't really tell if it comes from her urine or from her stool. I just know that it's bright red--near orange, but not quite--in color and slightly pungent in smell. Sophie doesn't cry when she excretes so we're not sure if this is caused by stones.
I tried looking up the lynx and I tried giving her cranberry juice. There's no vet within the place, we're still going around asking for referrals.
