Junior Guinea Pig
One of our girls is showing typical signs of Ovarian Cysts, I have yet to have this confirmed-she went to a vet last week, but they did not fill me with confidence, so I have been waiting to see how she progressed, as the vet said this was fine, as she is still healthy.
I wanted to see if anyone had some advise on the HG hormone injections? My vet is currently off work, and was somewhat sceptical about their use anyway.
Flobble has very swollen crusty nipples and swollen lady bits, and has lost weight. She has been hormonal for about six weeks and is mounting the younger siblings.
She is still eating OK, if a little pickier than usual. Her weight is usually 1030g and she's now 965g
If a spay is going to solve the problem, I'm not adverse to this idea, while she is still healthy. But I WILL NOT leave her with someone who is inexperienced. I have asked for recommendations close to where I live, but if anyone can recommend anyone, anywhere, I'd be so grateful.
I have asked two local vets, one has done three procedures in ten years, and another practice has done three since April 2009, all sucessful. But no where near as experienced as our usual chap.
Advise very gratefully received.
Thanks
