Hi, Please help me. I think Zeno has cystitis. I heard him last evening crying a bit, but he is spoiled and talkative and I ignored it. This morning, I heard him again and I think that he squicks when he is weeing. There is no blood in uring, he is eating normally, drinks water, is playful, but still... I've just bought Ocean Spray 100% cranberry juice no sugar added and I gave him a 10 ml syringe, and I also put several drops in his water. I read about Cantharis - where should i buy it? Natural holistic stores? What is the dosage? If he is not better by tomorrow evening (Sunday), I'll take him to a vet on Monday. Zeno is 3 1/2 years and he has never been sick. Please help me. Thanks!

Continue using what you have. I would also check to see if Zeno is impacted. That might create a little added pressure which could be uncomfortable. I definitely suggest a vet visit if he isn't improving.

Update - Zeno is eating very well, is playful, I am still giving him Cranberry juice and 1/4 of an Urosept pill dissolved in a bit of water (made of parsley root extract, white birch leaf extract, mountain cranberry,grape). He still cryes sometimes when he is weeing, but definitely no blood in urine. Around his wee, I put a bit of hydrocortisone, in case is inflamed and I also extracted yesterday 3 things like white rubber - I found out it is dried semen (so I am thinking that this stuff might had irritated him). I managed to book an appt with a vet for Wed (I am in Canada and it seems that there are so few vets who treat guinea pigs). Thanks for being here with me and my little guy. I try to tell myself that as long as he has a healthy appetite he is sort of ok..
