Tonight while cleaning cages, Diego was zipping around in his fleeceless cage for just a moment before I gave him floor time. The coro is white. He peed in 2 spots, most of the pee was yellow but there was red/pink in both pee puddles.
He also squeaks when he pees or poops. not a loud scream or squeak but a soft squrree squree until he's done. He's also been very grumpy but he's also an aby cross, and aby's are crabby!
I decided to just check his private parts, have heard about impaction and such. When his penis popped out, it had, the best word to describe it is, whitish lesions in several places and the tip of his penis also is swollen and covered with this whitish stuff. For comparison, I checked 2 other boars and they have nice pink wees, no redness or whitish stuff.
It also was very sour/foul smelling, more so than just boar butt when his wee popped out. I'm thinking UTI, and I am calling the vet tomorrow to get him in asap.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks for helping!
