Noticed this evening that there were substantial (not just spotting) areas of blood on the wood pellets in the cage. Took a look at the pig and saw blood under the rear. I called and found out the emergency vet is seeing guinea pigs tonight. Hopefully that means an exotic specialist is available. My wife is there with the pig...I'm waiting for her call.
I know this is not much to go on.... I'm wondering if it could be a burst abscess? The location makes me think it might be a burst ovarian cyst? I didn't get to examine her closely to figure out where the blood was coming from. On the positive side, she was acting completely normally... scampering away from me, eating hay, drinking water. It's all speculation...I suppose I'll find out soon. I'm not sure what I should be wishing for.
Anyway...possibly a long night ahead. Wish us luck.
