Which vet did you go to? Did you go to Simon at the Cat and Rabbit Care Clinic?

I doubt we will get a sensible answer since this member has more than one thread where vet examination and treatment has been advised but seems to be ignoring the advice for whatever reason.
 
Hope you got to see Simon at the Cat and Rabbit Clinic, we travel all the way from Cornwall so your piggies can have conscious dentals. he is a fantastic vet and very reasonably priced too compared to some Exotics we have been to with little experience of treating guinea pigs in Cornwall

Mhh , can't get them there yet.
Dealing with a sick rabbit too. :(
 
also how is your rabbit more important than your pigs. if what you say is true then this is a reasonably serious situation
 
After reading your posts, I am beginning to feel very worried for all your pets, particularly your guinea pigs. As an owner of a pet by law you or your parents (if under 18) have a legal obligation to seek proper veterinary support for any sick animal in your care, this includes pregnancy and the responsibility to get your pets neutered so no breeding can occur.
Please do this or ask your parents to do this for you

Just ignore this person threads 😫 in other thread this person has mentioned they have not been to a vet as they are busy but now says they don't have any money and in this same thread has mentioned before that they have been to a vet😫 it's just a torture to ourselves reading these threads. If this person is not ready and willing to take our advices we can do nothing😫 I m seriously worried about this person's pet but I know I or we can't do anything and it breaks my heart

I’m so sorry for you, perhaps you could do some chores around the house, babysit or wash cars to persuade your parent to pay for their care.

Do vets in UK reduce their fee in general if a person is financially unstable?

you say here that you went to the vet? in another thread you stated that you couldn’t go to a vet. what do you mean by this and why didn’t you check if your boy is neutered and your sows are pregnant when you were there? sorry i’m just a bit confused

Hi @Ritika in the UK there is a charity the PDSA who provide free or subsidised vet care for families on low incomes- they arent guinea pig experts usually but will often provide free emergency care and free neutering for pets if the family receives certain state benefits that are given to people on a low income.
@Littlepiggie I think you need to calm down a little and be a bit more polite and clear about the situation if you want further advice, you are just one out of 28,000 forum members who we politely advise and enter into discussions with and you can't expect everyone to remember what you have and haven't said, especially when it is not clear and somewhat contradictory. Several forum staff members and advisors have reviewed all your threads and posts and we are all still a little unclear what pets you have and havent got and what is wrong with them and whether or not they are receiving vet care.
If you are in the UK your parents are legally obliged to provide vet care for your pets if you are under 18. Begging them and them not letting you are not really situations that the forum adults can help with- if you have been to the vet please clarify what was said, if you haven't then please see the vet, if your parents wont take the pets to the vet when they need it then they are breaking the law and also breaking the forum rules and this is a case for the RSPCA not something we can discuss here further.

You just said you'd been to see Simon. How did you get on? Does he need to see your guinea pig again? If you really can't afford to get the treatment that your guinea pig needs, then we may be able to offer a permanent home for him, here at TEAS. I can have a word with Simon tomorrow and see if he thinks it is going to be an ongoing issue, but would need you to ring the practice and give him permission to speak to me about your guinea pig. Please do that and I can help you! 🙂
