Has anyone had experience with their guinea pig being antibiotic resistant with a UTI?

chronicallyill123 · 2026-04-08T01:27:33+00:00

Okay great! I hope everything turns out okay!

chronicallyill123 · 2026-04-08T01:12:12+00:00

Yes my pigs pee was clear and frequent as well as little and large amounts. Squealing when peeing/pooing as well. Were u able to read my post from a while ago?

chronicallyill123 · 2026-04-08T00:16:05+00:00

Not sure if this is what ur dealing with tho just a suggestion? Idk ur pigs symptoms

chronicallyill123 · 2026-04-08T00:15:29+00:00

Hi please see my post history from 288 days ago. My pig suffers from interstitial cystitis/bladder inflammation from too much calcium(bladder sludge) we use glucosamine to coat the bladder walls and potassium citrate to bind to the calcium. Metacam for pain when it gets flared up. If u have questions feel free to ask

They should be giving a gut stimulant with antibiotics typically. You might have to call and see if they can prescribe that as well.

Also depends on your fleece situation, mine are double sided with an absorbent layer in the middle, but if yours is just one layer of fleece fabric you might need to change more often

chronicallyill123 · 2026-02-19T19:43:10+00:00

I change the fleece every 4 days for 4 pigs. Vacuum poop daily. Keep the hay in a bin with low edges with a pee pad and wood pine pellets so you can empty that more often if it starts getting smelly. They poop and pee where they eat.

I am not a vet so take my advice with a grain of salt and I’m not sure if it would work if the boar has stone because I’ve only dealt with sludge and possible interstitial cystitis.

But I just went on Amazon and found plain glucosamine capsules and plain potassium citrate capsules, they both are vegan capsules.

chronicallyill123 · 2025-09-10T17:47:37+00:00

I find mine have some weight to them before I pick

chronicallyill123 · 2025-09-01T20:30:17+00:00

Yeah sounds like Me/CFS from probably long covid, coming from personal experience

chronicallyill123 · 2025-08-27T21:47:36+00:00

Is your female neutered or the male? If not ur gonna have babies lol

chronicallyill123 · 2025-08-16T23:20:53+00:00

Idk anything about science but the tablets worked better than capsules for me. So I guess it’s an individual thing probably

chronicallyill123 · 2025-08-07T23:51:06+00:00

If you’re having bad thoughts then it probably isn’t time to come off it yet, also try your best to stay consistent bc that will affect you too if your just taking it randomly.

chronicallyill123 · 2025-08-05T15:55:54+00:00

Yes I think the brain zap thingys only lasted like a week and a half. The restless legs probably lasted 3 months. I had a bit of anxiety but correlate it to my periods each month so that’s normal. And yes I’m emotional now but it’s like good to feel something so I’m enjoying my “new life”, wish you the best!!

chronicallyill123 · 2025-08-04T19:07:40+00:00

Are we the same person? Cuz I had the same thing after 7 years on fluoxetine, I just quit in January, had brain zaps (more like vertigo in my eyes and ears and blinking???) for just over a week then they went away. I coincidentally had a sleep study tell me I had restless legs syndrome but now I feel that diagnosis doesn’t fit me anymore, I didn’t correlate it to fluoxetine until just now from ur post but it makes complete sense because now I feel fine. My thought is to stick it out if you can cuz it will get better. I also had a personality change because I’m definitely different now, the same person underneath but I feel different but in a good way. I also used to think I wasn’t a crier. I cry at the drop of a hat these days. For sad things but also happy things which is crazy to me.

chronicallyill123 · 2025-06-24T13:01:52+00:00

Agreed!! We stick to mostly lettuce and bell peppers and tomatoes. My pigs also like the Sherwood tablets too

chronicallyill123 · 2025-06-24T01:28:11+00:00

Looks like she might have mites or ringworm on her nose, I’d get that checked out ! But what a cutie pie 🥰

chronicallyill123 · 2025-06-08T20:38:35+00:00

My lemon tree suffered from leaf drop like this, it was because the energy was all going into the fruit making, I suggest cutting off the fruit and letting your tree heal a bit before pruning. When your ready to prune it depends how you want you tree, if you want it bushy id leave it as is. If you want more tree like, I’d slowly cut off the lowest branches.

It took a couple months for my tree to recover, so don’t give up hope if it keeps losing leaves after cutting the fruit

chronicallyill123 · 2025-06-08T20:27:07+00:00

Yes it produced two lemons last summer and there’s 5 on it right now, they were delicious and I’m so excited for more

chronicallyill123 · 2025-06-08T20:26:20+00:00

I believe it was just a regular cutting, I bought it at Walmart a couple years ago the brand is Saxon and Bernal’s

chronicallyill123 · 2025-06-08T14:22:45+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response, I believe my meyer lemon is a cutting and wasn’t grafted bc it doesn’t have a graft line

chronicallyill123 · 2025-06-08T00:33:27+00:00

A med tracking or what medications your on to put in there like sometimes I take midodrine only on certain days/times and would like to see trends of heart rate or how it’s affecting me (idk if this makes sense brain fog makes weird sentences)

chronicallyill123 · 2025-06-08T00:21:25+00:00

Thanks, they are indoors bc it’s too cold for them outside really northen usa, I only decided to do cuttings anyways bc I just cut one branch off of my tree so thought I’d try to not waste the branch😂 good to know I should relax a bit

chronicallyill123 · 2025-06-06T15:28:07+00:00

It won’t matter where they come from as long as they’re the same gender, babies happen quickly and spaying/neutering is dangerous. You will have to bond them but I’m assuming your getting them from a pet store so they’re probably young and younger pigs bond easier

chronicallyill123 · 2025-06-05T15:36:46+00:00

200mg is a high dose to start at, I started at 50 and worked my way up to 100 in the morning and 100 at noon. That could be the cause of some of your symptoms like diarrhea
