Guinea Pig Question????

Question

where can i get my guinea pigs nails clipped at, i dont want todo it myself cause i am afraid i will hurt her.

Answer 1

You can simply get them trimmed at your local vet office. They may charge more though, because guinea pigs are listed as "Exotic Pets."

It's not necessary to spend a large sum of cash though. If your piggies nails are clear, just cut above the red (blood.) If his nails are brown, take a guess as to where to snip. If the nails start bleeding, simply press a bar of soap on the bleeding nail. It should stop soon.

Answer 2

well that's a hard one!hmmm.............OH!Go to a vet or a place in burlington called nature's imporium.and if that won't work take a flash ligth and put your piggies foot on it that way you will see a little vein inside the nail were the vein stops clip it there.but know this if you cut it on the vein it will bleed for sevral hours.i know your scared it will hurt but if it bleeds goto a vet emmediately!!!

Answer 3

You can have it done at a vet's office by the technician or you can go to a groomer that is familiar with guinea pigs and have it done there.

You'll need to get out your phone book & call around to see if the business will handle a guinea pig. Some places only do cats and dogs.

Really, its not as hard as you might think! You may want to just start by snipping the very tiniest tip of the nails to get yourself acquainted with the nail clipping process. After a few times, its no big deal.

Good luck!
