Are you able to just ring up a vet with a quick question? I just don’t see why I’d have to bring him in when nothing looks wrong and pay $70 with just a question. Just don’t know if that’s a thing.
 
I think there are vets that allow answering questions over the phone for free. I haven't tried one though coz I usually just bring them in.
 
It probably depends on the vet.
I’ve phoned our veterinary hospital with an out of hours question and they don’t charge but I’ve never had to phone the surgery.
 
I phoned the vet and got a good reply, then I was the one who insisted for a visit. I sent him also an email for a doubt. But everything depends on their kindness and the risk they feel of losing a customer. I would change family doctor, specialist doctors and vet if they would not be available by phone... In a little town where only one exotic vet is available they might act differently.
 
Hi, I guess it depends on the question and if the vet is familiar with your guinea pig. Xx
