Junior Guinea Pig
Hi all,
My Guinea pig had a full ovariohysterectomy on the 17th so is now almost 2 weeks post op. She has had both 3 day and 10 day post op checks and they are super happy with how she is healing. She is now not on meds but I am still worried about her. Her appetite has decreased but she is still eating, toileting and moving around. Does anyone have any experience of how long their piggy took to be back to 100% normal. I have been closely monitoring her weight and she is staying at around 850g marks but previously was 1100g before spay. Is this amount of weight loss normal? Her cysts were huge and the biggest the surgeons had seen. They were each around 5cm wide! I don’t know if I am over thinking it or if there is anything else I can do. I did take her to an emergency vet appointment on the 4th day as her poops were softer and she seemed quite lethargic but the vet said it takes a long time for recovery for this big of an op. I seem to only find online about the first few days after the op and not much experience on the weeks following. Any experience or stories would be good to hear or any advice. My piggy is around 4.5 years old and lives with two other girls and a neutered male. Thanks in advance
