Expertise
I can answer every question anyone has! I am always willing to hit the books for other owners!

Experience
I have had 7 guinea pigs in my life with more to come. I have volunteered at the local shelter just to work with the small animals on a weekly basis and I have been to countless vets to soak up there advice, as well as looking in my 50 something books on guinea pigs. I know almost everything I can wrap my head around about guinea pigs!

Organizations
I belong to S.A.R.S. BC. It stands for Small Animal Rescue Shelter.

Publications
The vancouver sun.

Education/Credentials
I have taken community courses for pet care, including small animals, but I have not been to school formal education (I am not a vet). Currently I am in the process of becoming a published author and I have my degree in creative writing. Someday I will have my masters. I teach local classes for advanced creative writing and literature for teens.

Awards and Honors
I have had my writing published in the paper for the seventh time about animal pet care facts. Nothing big, just me and a few other writers.

Question
My 8 months old guinea pig is having yellow hazy urine .He is not showing any other sign (seems alright).Is it a problem ,if so what shud i do?

Answer
Hello Kapila!
He probably has a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). Take him to the vet for some anti-biotic and he will recover. Remember, if not treated early it can result in death. I sent you a link to a great site with information on UTI. Also remember that you must check his private parts for urine scalds, wood chips (or other bedding), blockage and cuts weekly. He is counting on you!
