Dear Kristin,
It may be too late for your cavy. I have removed stones from 7.5 year
old male cavies but in this case it sounds like he has a blockage and
possible kidney failure. You can go to my web page and read about
urinary tract infections and stones in guinea pigs.

He needs immediate veterinary care. You can give him 0.4 ml orally of
children's ibuprofen for the pain twice a day until you can get him to a
vet.I am not a vet but I volunteer as a cavy health advisor for Dr.
Frank Bonsack DVM of the Adventure Animal Hospital in Tampa Florida.

We have removed many stones from guinea pigs.
Best Wishes,
Ann and the Rescued Piggys of Piggyville, Tampa Florida USA.
