Hey everyone, this is my first post on here and I'm looking for some guidance if you can take the time to help.
I've four boars and one of them who is 15 months old has l to been with us for about
two months after speed dating and matching with my single boar.
He seems so happy and follows me around the house and loves his food! He has put on abit of weight which he needed to because he was very small.
i noticed that he only seemed to put weight on his neck and I suspected it was a dewlap. His poos also became smaller and softer recently so I thought id take him to the vet.
i found out he has a heart murmur and overgrown teeth at the back of his mouth too.
I googled vets that's specialise with guinea pigs and found one called Ashleigh vetenary centre in Manchester so he went there.
They have done all the treatments on him today and I went to collect him this evening.
My question is, how do I know that my vet has my guinea pigs welfare as the most important thing. I read today an article that was written by an ex vet who did an exposé about the vetinary business and he said that vets do things that put the let through painfully treatment that they don't need to make money! It really worried me as I want to know my guinea pig is having treatment be needs and not being pushed for stuff he doesn't need that could cause him distress just to make the vets more money.
I know this is a silly thought for me to have but it has got me worried. I just want whats best for my piggies.
Does anyone have an experience with Ashleigh vetenary centre? I have had a good experience if a little rushed. It's in Lancashire/Manchester.
Thank you for reading!
