My guinea pig is peeing blood and sand-like substance. What's wrong?

Question

My guinea pig just bled and peed out almost a sand like substance. I do not know what to do.... I thought she was better and a week later i found dots of blood in her cage. Do you know what this would be? Pet's info: Small Animal | Guinea Pig | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 6 months old | 2 lbs

Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs might be compatible with a urinary tract infection/inflammation. Stress related (idiopathic type of inflammation) infection and presence of crystals are the most common causes of it. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
