[Gpdd] health-thick urine (joy smith's question)

[Joy Wong]

Hi all cavy lovers,

this is directed to Joy Smith's question regarding the issue on milky urine. 
It might not be the case of an excess of calcium intake. Milky urine can 
also be the result of a number of reasons. Salt wheels, a common "extra" 
many pet owners buy could also be the problem (however I do recommend that 
cavy owners don't use salt wheels, it isn't necessary). Another cause could 
be due to alfafa hay. Too much alfafa hay could cause milky urine. I can't 
really remember what is the excess element (could be protein)...my cavy 
passed away abt 2 years ago, so I can't really remember (sorry about that). 
I do suspect however that the cause is too much alfafa hay. Once again, I'm 
not a vet, so if the problem persists, do visit a vet.

p/s If you don't feed your cavies alfafa hay or use a salt wheel, i guess 
the best way is to visit a vet if your cavy experiences other symptoms.
