Good luck little Nacho, we'll keep all our fingers and toes crossed for you here and thinking good thoughts for a very successful operation and a speedy recovery!
 
You will be so relieved at 3pm, the waiting and not knowing is by far the worst bit. If I had it my way I would be in the surgery with them, keeping a close eye on things!
 
Sending lots of get well vibes to Nacho and wishing him a speedy recovery. I have been thinking of him (and you) this morning as you are so close by!
The wait is almost over, keep us updated.
*hugs*
 
Thanks everyone, the vet called me a little while ago, she said its all gone fine and he's just coming round from the anaesthetic :) :) :) and i can call back in an hour or so to see when he can come home x) x)
phew.... now i can relax :))
 
:)) great news!
Well done Nacho, now make your Mummy proud of your super-fast recovery skills!
Bet you can't wait to have him home with you :)
 
He's home now! yay! eating and drinking and giving me the evil looks :))
His stitches look quite horrific, theres a bit of blood.
He's quite sleepy, but managed some lettuce :)
He's gotta go back on wed for a check up.
£160! but he's definitely worth it :)
 
Ahhhh

He's pulled out his stitches! :( he's got a big hole.
going back to the vets at 11am. I guess this means more anaesthetic? It's too gaping to glue 8...
 
Oh no naughty Nacho :(

What did the vet decide to do? Is there a guinea pig equivalent of those cones they put around dogs heads after operations to stop them biting stiches?

Hoping you and Nacho are both ok xx
 
Naughty Nacho! The vet probably has to restitch him. It happens.

Best of luck! Is it worth sewing him a little suit so he can't get at the wound?

they have them for rabbits, but i don't think they'd work for guineas, as i'm sure i've noticed a distinct lack of neck :))
 
well, they've stapled the wound for now, :)>>> it was horrible.
But he's pulled one of the staples out already mallethead.
i've tried making him a little t shirt but it keeps coming off, i've used the sleeve from josh's old tshirt, and i used one of the legs from my fishnet tights...:red
The vet seems to have no solution either. any suggestions?
