Know you guinea pig, know your poo

Is my poo too large?

I can add yours if you'd like too!

[TexCavy]

Sure. :)

Done!

Thanks. Tequiza's vet visit was good. She just had urinary tract infection as suspected. She got Marbofloxacin. That is the first I had heard of it. Only has to be given once a day. She should be all healed up quick but i still wonder about the weird poo.

Seems I’ve come across a crease poop too. All of them have the groove in the same location. This is from a little boy I just got from Craigslist today. He appears healthy (at least nothing out of the ordinary strikes me) and will get a vet check up soon. I don’t know if there’s any significance to the crease, but it’s the first I’ve seen it.

Tequiza's creases in the poo seem to be going away as she finishes up her round of medication for the UTI. But I must check again to be certain. I still am worried about the texture of her poo. The coarse fibrous grains seem concerning. But maybe I am just being a worried mom.

The medication may be affecting the bacteria that helps process/break down food during the intestinal digestive process.

Let me know if you'd like your photo added permanently, emilyam19.

Of course, is it too big? I wasn't sure how well the groove would show so I didn't resize it.

Indeed, sometimes big pics are easier to see!

Ouiser, last week, while on Baytril, Benebac, shilintong, metacam, and bup. Pooksied's tubular picture on the last page reminded me of it because one of them was a super-long poop.

Looks very soft! I added your pic too (cropped) since you've contributed med photos previously (and this seems to be a "poop giving" thread).
