Feed hay, pellets as normal. Provide lots of water.
It might be bladder stones, kidney stones... I would not wait till Saturday for my appointment. If the vet you prefer is fully booked on Thursday, Friday, I would suggest you to walk-in and wait an hour or so. It's better than waiting for Saturday, which is quite nerve cracking.

Maybe kana Urinary Infection...
GuineaLynx description: Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) Urinary tract infections are common in guinea pigs. Their short legs put them low to the ground where they are more likely to pick up bacteria from wet bedding and droppings. The most noticeable signs of a UTI are: Blood in urine Squeaking while peeing read more here? http://www.guinealynx.info/uti.html |

Summary of wad u can do now? (copied from Guinealynx)
PREVENTION Your goal is to keep your guinea pig as dry as possible to prevent infection. Keeping the butt hairs of a long haired cavy trimmed may help. Change bedding more frequently, especially areas that are wet (spot clean). Look into polyester fabrics which reportedly allow the urine to drain through but stay dry. Some people use a safe plastic grid flooring like Envirotiles (different from wire flooring) to keep the guinea pig from direct contact with urine. CRANBERRY JUICE If your guinea pig has recurrent UTIs, try offering plain unsweetened diluted cranberry juice. Antibiotics are required to cure a UTI but cranberry juice may interfere with its development, cutting the incidence of UTIs in half. Use only unsweetened, natural cranberry juice. Syringe feed or place in water bottle. Change bottle containing juice at least daily and preferably twice a day. Plain unsweetened cranberry juice is quite strong and bitter in taste. Dilute with water. Do not use human cranberry drinks sweetened with sugar, apple juice, or other juices. GOOD LUCK & GET WELL SOON, PIGGY |
