...without it. I don't know if the reaction could happen again or if it would be better another time. If it was due to the vet (the practice is not exotic but the vet themselves is). We are in Kent and open to recommendations if anyone has success spaying recently and who with. Happy to travel.

...so I started up the novacam again after 3 days. I spoke to my vet this week, and she suggested a spay as the way forward. However, flank spaying is not common around here so she will make some calls next week to see where we can go for a flank spay. However, now it’s the weekend I am...

Does anyone have experience of the cost of spaying a young sow in Devon? I know different vets and different areas have very different prices. I'm looking to get two young girl piggies for my bereaved boy Jester and I wanted to get them spayed as a preventative measure (my boy is already...

Hello, After loosing my lovely Coco a few days ago and Fudge last year, I have thought long and hard about whether I get some more soon. I will probably give it another couple of weeks before jumping in. My question is do you recommend getting sows spayed at an early age due to the common...

When I’ve had piggies spayed they have come home the same day and then need some post op care while everything heals. All mine did well after a spay If Gaia does need a spay then have a read through the forum guides in the Health section. The information is excellent

Hi Like with boar neutering, it all depends on your access to a vet with ideally experience and a good track record in guinea pig de-sexing operations as it is a major operation. In sows, this can be a full spay (removal of the entire reproductive tract) or just an ovariectomy (i.e. removal of...

Hi all, just wondering whether anyone has had success with their pigs being spayed at this vets, and if so which vet? From a worried piggy owner Thanks, Lauren

I've never posted on this forum before so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place but I was hoping for some advice about my rescue pig Patch. Patch is approximately 2 years old and a week ago she had to have an emergency spay because she had pyometra. The first few days after the spay she was...

I think it's generally a spay.

Hi folks, I am looking for Spayed sows for Albert, but it's tricky to find them. The Bunnyjackpot Foundation have a number but they aren't on the recommended rescue list. Does anyone have any experience/ insight? Many thanks A Christmas Pigging.

Hi all, The vet has suggested my Petal be spayed after ovarian cysts have comeback for the third time. She has cysts on both sides and although there is no growth in the uterus she said the uterus doesn't look fully healthy currently. I am terrified as the vet said not all pigs will recover...

That’s a great bit of information and help, thankyou! I thought exactly the same of doing an operation of my own election and something happening I wouldn’t forgive myself. Maybe every year I could just get my vet to do an ultrasound check which they only charge 60 pounds for. However, if they...

Hiya 👋🏻 just an update on Maisy 🐹🐷 so we took her to the (exotics) vet yesterday and we agreed to get her spayed. The operation went very well. The only thing was that it turns out she did not have ovarian cysts and they found that her ovaries are very tiny, and ovarian tissue was found around...

i have spoken to the vet previously about what to do, and he didn’t recommend the spay surgery because of her age, i know there are injections she could possibly have, i’ll talk to the vet about that.

Thank you for your replies! I thought that maybe since she was an older pig and spayed then the boys wouldn't care and therefore not fight over her. But at the end of the day she's still a female so that makes sense!

Hello, my piggies are currently boarding while I'm travelling and one of my girls (2.5 - 3 years old) seems to be going through a series of health issues. She tested positive for Giardia infection during a routine pre-boarding faecal analysis, so she was treated for this. Within a couple of days...

...it was cancerous or that it could burst and suggested a full spay. I trust these vets completely as they seem to be knowledgeable with pig spaying. I have trust issues a little bit with spaying girl pigs due to how my piggie Peaches was spayed and she unfortunately did not make it post op...

Following on from my previous thread, I've now got a dilemma about Whisper's spay appointment. I have spoken to the vets about her having a companion with her on the day because she came home from her ultrasound shaking as I took her on her own. I detected from the phone call that they were...

Hope all goes well at the vets. I’ve had sows spayed for ovarian cysts and all has gone well.

Yess I'm going to go through with the spay! Thank youu i appreciate the support!
