Possibal piggy with Diabetes HELP

Hi , I am new to this forum and I am thinking my little guinea pig has diabetes. She is drinking and peeing a whole bunch and has lost a some weight she seems fine otherwise I mean she is so thirsty she drinks a bottle of water in a day and it's prett big for a piggy, I am taking her to the vet on Friday. My questions is does anyone know how much the oral and insulin meds usally cost. I would also like to know stories about anybody who has diabetic piggs and how they found out.

Thanks
Devin

It's more likely she has teeth problems, or bladder stone or something else. But you can do some research at Guinea Lynx :: A Medical and Care Guide for Your Guinea Pig

Handfeed in the meantime Guinea Lynx :: Hand Feeding

Thanks for the info I looked that up on the Cavy Medical Guide and she seems to be not have any pain when peeing or blood, I think she was just having a bad day that day, but it dosen't hurt to worry about my piggie. I will an keep an eye on her though.

Thanks
Devin
