What do i if my guinea pig is bleeding from the private.?

Question

light brown blood

Answer 1

it may have a stone, if it is going pee it should pass within a hour or so. The urine means there isnt a blockage.

If it is still there in the morning take him/her to your vet. Look on guinealynx.com in the meantime at this page.

Answer 2

This is not normal. Neither male nor female guinea pigs should ever bleed from their 'private areas'. This is a sign of something such as stone or UTI (Urinary Tract Infection), and the guinea pig needs to be taken to a vet immediately. If there is no wound that the guinea pig is bleeding from, take him/her to the vet now! Otherwise it could become serious, and possibly even fatal. Make sure the guinea pig goes to an exotic vet, not your run-of-the-mill cat or dog vet.
