Which vet did you go to? Did you go to Simon at the Cat and Rabbit Care Clinic?
Maybe an idea to merge the threads.
Mhh , can't get them there yet.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
YesWhich vet did you go to? Did you go to Simon at the Cat and Rabbit Care Clinic?
And what did the vet say?
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
I thought the rabbit belongs to your aunt? Dealing with a sick rabbit doesn’t stop you taking five mins to call the vets for an appointment. You could also book the rabbit in...Mhh , can't get them there yet.
Dealing with a sick rabbit too.![]()
I'm not saying the rabbit is more importantalso how is your rabbit more important than your pigs. if what you say is true then this is a reasonably serious situation
Yes i know.I thought the rabbit belongs to your aunt? Dealing with a sick rabbit doesn’t stop you taking five mins to call the vets for an appointment. You could also book the rabbit in...
My parents wont let me.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
My parents wont let me.
i'm 16 , so i can't do it myself , thats why i have not done it yet .
And do you have to pay for it ?
I have no money
Just ignore this person threadsYour parents have a legal responsibility to provide vet care for any animal you own.
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.My parents wont let me.

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

Thanks for the ideas !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.
No, no , no , no , no i went to the vet , so thats why my parents wont let me go again !Just ignore this person threadsin 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
Oh what did the vet say?No, no , no , no , no i went to the vet , so thats why my parents wont let me go again !
Cause i only just took a pig !
I didn't bring them .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
I've posted about it earlierOh what did the vet say?
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.Do vets in UK reduce their fee in general if a person is financially unstable?
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!I've posted about it earlier
