Vet Health Check Tomorrow!

[newtoguineas]

I'm taking my boys to the vet tomorrow, they have never seen one.

I got then from a garden centre (I didnt know better till i joined this forum) so i want to make sure they are healthy and to make sure they have been sexed correctly.

Wonder if the vet can also tell me whether they are the age they are supposed to be?

Feeling nervous but I'm so keen to make sure all is well

Good luck at the vets. There really is nothing to worry about. Your piggies will be fine.

Good luck for tomorrow, but I'm sure it'll all be fine.

Thanks all. I'm a tad worried Monty may have mites... he scratches more than Waylon and kind of twitches/jumps when i stroke him at laptime (though it may well just be skittishness).

Does anyone know how much they should poo? There were about 20 droppings in the run today after about 20 minutes floortime...?

Sounds pretty normal to us...

Make sure you have plenty of carrot in for after the appointment - it was the only reason my 2 forgave me after their health check earlier this month!

Update - yay, they are both healthy boys! Waylon is 680g and Monty is 740g, does that sound ok for 3.5ish month olds?

That is wonderful news!
