Hi everyone,
My little piggy Phoebe is having an ultrasound next week in order to assess whether she has ovarian cysts or a tumour, or just fluid. Monica is also having a scan for comparison.
I have several questions if it is ovarian cysts...
1. How well do guinea pigs tolerate GA's?
2. How difficult is the operation?
3. Does it improve life expectancy?
My vet who is very rabbit savvy has never spayed a guinea pig. She has spayed loads of bunnies but no piggies. She has never done abdominal surgery in a guinea pig. She has removed absesses though.
I am rushing ahead into the future here I know.... but i am so worried.
