I have a guinea pig I adopted from an owner who couldn't afford to take her to the vet.
She recovered from having teeth issues due to a poor diet and is close to a normal weight.
Now 4 months after I have her she started urinating blood. I took her to the vet and they said she has a high amount of crystals in her urine causing irritation and bleeding.
She is on an antibiotic for 10 days and if the bleeding doesn't improve she needs an xray.
So far the bleeding is much better but I am trying to find out why she had these crystals in the first place.
She gets fed Orchard Grass, Oxbow Adult Pellets, Romaine lettuce every day, and green bell pepper and carrots.
So far from my research I am going to cut out the romaine, what should I replace that with?
Also I started giving her filtered water.
If anyone else has any tips please let me know.
