I'm Bringing My Guinea Pig To The Vet Today And I'm Full Of Panic?

Question

My poor little piggy Jack is being brought to the vet this morning because I just want to make sure that she is healthy and doesn't have any problems. But I worry terribly about her and I'm having all these thought that there may be something serious found by the vet and I'll get the news that she has to go to sleep. It's been playing on my mind all night.

I'm only bringing her because she seems depressed without another piggy for company, which I shall be getting her if everything at the vet turns out to be fine.

She's nearly ready to go now and is all relaxed after breakfast, a little run around and a little treat to keep her happy. It's I'm the one who is going crazy with worrying thoughts.

What if she has an incurable illness?

What if she needs an operation?

What if she needs to be put to sleep?

All these questions are swimming around in my head and I'm nearly in tears. Please pray for Jack, thanks.

Answer 1

I hope all goes well and I am sure it will do jack sounds like a content piggy and well loved, getting jack a friend will hopefully cheer her up.  Its great to know you are wanting the best for her and at least a vet trip will settle any worries you may have!  

Answer 2

There's no need to worry if she is just going for a check-up.  I remember taking my guinea pig into the vet when we found a large bump on her foot.  The vet told us she had cancer and wasn't going to live much longer.  She lived about 6 more happy months.  The thing was that we were expecting something to be wrong with her.  If you didn't notice anything besides a little depression you shouldn't get upset.  I'm almost sure your mom will come home with only good news.  I hope your piggy lives a long healthy life!

Stop worrying!

He is in safe hands at the vets, and if he is just going for a check up he should be fine.

Feel for me my 2 dogs had opperations last week, now one of my cats are ill and having an opperation as we speak, got vets tomorrow, next week oh and in 3 weeks time!

Just keep calm vets are great.
