Hello everyone, I am new here and am hoping that some of you can give me the benefit of your experience. My piggy, Nutty, has a tumour on her tummy and polycystic ovaries. Obviously I took her to the vet as soon as I noticed the problem. My dilemma is that the vet has given me a choice of (1) an op (remove tumour, which he 'thinks' is probably benign) and to have her spayed, and option (2) which is to leave her and see how she gets on, on the basis that there's a chance neither issue will get any worse and she might live for years with no real problems. He said the op would be quite major and carries the usual risks, although at the moment Nutty is strong and in really good health generally. My inclination is to have the op, but I really would like to know how other piggies have got on after being spayed... are they usually OK, if they are in pretty good health before hand? All that matters to me is that I do the best for my pig, and I'd love to know how others have got on after a major op. I just hate the idea of doing what I think is best and then regretting it.
Thank you fellow Piggy Parents!
