Meet Simba, he recently underwent bladder stone removal. We are pleased to report he is doing well and is back to normal.
Read more below about bladder stones in guinea pigs.

Guinea pigs are relatively prone to urinary stones (called uroliths) which are often found in the bladder or the urethra (the tube that connects the bladder to the outside world) although they can be found throughout the urinary tract.
Affected guinea pigs typically show signs such as blood in the urine, straining to urinate and squeaking or discomfort when urinating. They may go off their food or become lethargic.
Urinary stones in guinea pigs are diagnosed with x-rays and ultrasound scans of the abdomen, which can also show the location and size of the stone. A urine sample may be performed before imaging to rule out other causes of urinary disease, such as a urinary tract infection.
The treatment of choice for urinary stones in the bladder is surgical removal, which is performed under anaesthetic, with the recovery period typically lasting 2 weeks.
Urinary stones in guinea pigs are often made of calcium, and there is thought to be a dietary link as they excrete excess calcium into the urine (although the exact process is still unknown). For guinea pigs that have had bladder stones, it is recommended to reduce the calcium content of the diet, such as avoiding calcium-rich foods (such as rocket, basil or spring greens), and encouraging water access (for example by providing both a water bowl and bottle, and wetting the vegetables in their diet). Other ways that may help in the prevention of urinary stones is to encourage exercise (by providing a large enough enclosure as well as companions and enrichment), keeping your guinea pig a good bodyweight, and reducing stress in the environment.
