neuter

Male guinea pig got neutered today and it’s only been 7 hours since I picked him up. He’s nibbling on some food (a few pieces of parsley. Some hay, half of his vitamin c treat), has peed a few times but only has a few poops. Is this a normal amount and he’s just low energy or should I call his vet?

how much does vets4pets guinea pig neutering cost in uk, i’ve been wanting to neuter my male guinea pig.

Hello all! I recently rescued a big boar boy, with white course fur and curly whiskers that is making us think he might be a Rex, and we’re planning on getting him neutered in the next month. The vet we contacted recommends abdominal neutering, as we’re hoping to have him live with our two...

Hiya! I have 5 girl pigs and just one male, so I’m neutering my male tomorrow so he’s able to live in my cage of 3 girls!(the other cage of 2 has a “lethal pig” in so gets very confused when i add more pigs, which is why they’re not all in together) I know i have to wait 6 weeks before moving...

Hey there! Not knowing how many guinea pigs are rehomed in the world, we regrettably went to a big box store & adopted a sow. A week later she had 2 babies! 🙄 My son at this point named both babies & the whole family fell in love w/them. The store was helpful, apologetic & gave us free food &...

Hi guinea lovers, I've had some amazing help on here, some of which I haven't always had time to respond to, but is much appreciated. This is an amazing online community and I am grateful for all of the information here. I have my two boars who fell out booked in for neutering on the 25th...

Hi, I looked this up but couldn't find anything like that on the forum. I'm kinda freaking out, let me get right into it. We got one of my boys (a few months shy from being 1 and a half years old) neutered today. Everything's good and we trust our vet. We hand-fed him for a while. It's been...

Hello all, My guinea pig was neutered 3 days ago and today I noticed that he has a little swelling near the surgical site. After reading about abcess risks and multiple other possibilities I took him to the vet to get checked out. They poked and did a sonogram and said they are thinking it's a...

My poor boy has developed the abscess from his November neutering. Have no clue why. It felt about the size of a small grape and decided to burst while going to the vet. The vet squeezed out the ick, flushed, and taught me how to do so as well with the light blue liquid and curved syringe. Gave...

Hi everyone! Needing some advice, I have two male pigs at a year old and recently took on a female pig. Her previous owners are friends with my mum and went on holiday about a month ago and my mum volunteered for me to take care of her for two weeks, two weeks has turned into me now keeping her...

Hello Brand new owner!.. We got 2 guinea pigs from pet shop back in April, 2 males & were told they were around 8 weeks. We have a 4ft 2 tier hutch & a 4ft by 4ft run for the garden which they go out in most days. So far all was well. But the last couple of weeks they have been fighting, we...

Hello, I have decided to neuter my Simon to be with my 2 girls so he is not lonely any more. But after looking online I feel the vet I go to is overcharging me! They quoted me $350 and UP as well as a visit before the surgery at $55! Are they really over charging me? I have tried looking at...

Me and my partner were wondering whether it would be possible to neuter our two boys (Captain and Jaffa) to be placed with our two females (Corky and Pickle). Or is it a definite no no for two males to be placed with females.. I hope someone can help us!

I'm thinking about having my 7 month old boar neutered as I would would like him to be with a pair of females in the future. Does any one know much it costs and know of any information that may useful. Also, if anyone knows of any experienced vets in the West Midlands, particularly in or around...

Hi, So my little brother really wants a Guinea pig. Since i was already planning to get a third guinea pig i agreed to let him own my third one. All good right? Later when we went to buy some hay from the pet shop this plan was completely ruined when he fell in love with a little black piggie in...

Hi everyone, I'm just doing this post as a bit of therapy for myself, so apologies for going on and probably boring you all! We rescued Sherbet in June this year after our little girl's sister died - we thought she would get on better with a boy rather than another girl. After a little while...

Hello there, My boy, Fluff, was castrated yesterday poor thing. The vet said that everything went well and that he seemed to be recovering well. I am just a bit concerned as to what is normal behaviour after an op and also what is normal food consuption etc? I gave him some spinach leaves...

I can't seem to see much on this kind of issue anywhere, a male after neuter leaking urine? I'm fairly certain that the vet who did the operation was pretty incompetent with piggies but unfortunately the piggy isn't in my ownership right now. I'm wondering what they messed up in there during...

Hey guys! I will quickly tell the story of my piggy, Tumnus, and then get to the point of this thread! What would have been around 3 months ago now, there were 3 male piggies that some jerk had set loose in a field by my apartment. Tumnus was caught fairly quickly, but the other 2 were much...

Hey guys! The time has come to introduce my little man to a little woman, but not until he get's his 'business' removed. He's 8 months old, lively, good weight and we've bonded really well, so I'm hoping all will go well with his operation. This has to be done as he needs a little cage mate and...
