I was very pleased last night to have ordered the cage and stand (Rabbit 150) for Mork and his lady friends to live in.

And today I booked Mork in for the snip - 3rd November (next Tuesday). I feel really quite scared. I know the vet doing it is experienced in rodents esp guineas and they answered okay to a couple of th questions I asked over the phone that were in the neutering sticky so I booked the appointment.

Until he's ready to live with the girls properly I was going to section off the 150cm cage for them both to be in there. I know it will be a bit small for them for a while but they seem to really enjoy being next to each other in runs and I feel sorry when they are in seperate cages. Mork seems so much happier when he can stand up and see / sniff the ladies. What do you think about the temporary cage sectioning?
 
I think the temp cages is fine :)!

I know your nervous, he is a gorgeous boy I shall keep everything crossed that all goes well :)! He'll be living with his pretty girls in no time :(|)!
 
ooh gosh I am sure everything will be fine and hope that your cage turns up swiftly
 
I hope everything goes well and your guinea-pigs enjoy their new cage :)
 
Can I just ask generally, is it risky for a piggy to go under or is it normal 'my poor little baby' nerves?

I hope everything goes well for Mork anyway, he will love living with the ladies! x)
 
There is always a chance that a piggy won't wake up or develops serious complications.

That's why you want to find as experienced a vet as possible, so your odds are a lot better.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and Mork, Lisa!

PS: The smaller cage should be acceptable for a short time, considering theat they are having run time as well!

:(

I also have this problem with my dog and my hammy. :{:(
 
What proble? I can't read that right although I've had a busy day and have brain frazzle.
 
I have a Pug who is a high risk under anaesthetic, also obv. my hammy isn't too favourable, didn't realise piggies had the same problem, I am a glutton for punishment. :(

My beautiful pooch just had a tumour removed and without that vet I have, I don't think he would have made it, he is a legend. xx>>>
 
good luck for your op little Mork.I'm sure he`ll be fine

ahh hoggle you have a pug how cute i want to see pics i love those dogs and really want one

AHH I get you now. Poor pooch and sounds like a wonderful vet.

Gosh I couldn't imagine giving a hamster anasthetic. Scary stuff.

Thanks everyone for Morks well wishes. I dreamt about it last night (I have dreamt about this particular guinea so many times). All was okay in my dream. I just know I am going to fret all the time until it's done and he's recovered.

I am very exciting for getting the cage, I can't wait. It seems very large and again it's on a stand. Other wise I'd make a 2 x 4 c&c for them somewhere with a upstairs feeding snug. But wheels give me options to where I place them, they can be in various rooms downstairs depending on time of year, visitors etc. I can't get my huge c&c out of the room it's in - it will have to be dismantelled first.
 
My late dwarf hammy had anaesthetic after having that horrible cotton wool type bedding stuck round his foot, he made it through and I was gobsmacked.

Here is my pooch! The love of my life! :<>
