I've got such a lot going on at home at the moment so the last thing I need is pet problems..However Hubert my 21 month old guinea pig has had 2 courses of UTI specific antibiotics and has just started up with more symptoms so I will be taking him in for an x ray/ultrasound hopefully tomorrow to check for the dreaded bladder stones...

The idea of nursing him through the op plus days of syringe feeding round the clock whilst dealing with my other commitments fills me with dread! Please keep your fingers crossed that it's an irritable bladder/interstitial cystitis which doesn't need surgery!! If it's a stone then he'll have the op but urghhh...Couldn't have come at a worse time. He's a precious pig so he'll get the best treatment but ..just wish it wasn't happening!

Sorry for the moan..I hate my pets being under the weather but know it's all part of being a responsible owner.
