Where's a low cost place i can get my guinea pig neutered?

Question

i have a girl guinea pig and two boys. my mother wants to have one litter of piggies then get her neutered, but we don't have very much money to do it with. so, does anyone know a place in maybe kalamazoo or paw paw that's inexpensive?

Answer 1

If you have two males and one female, they'll fight even if they're all neutered. Even neutered males will fight over females, and intact males will still fight over a spayed female.

You need to keep them in separate cages. Depending on how sensitive the boys are to her presence, maybe even in different rooms - some male pigs go crazy just for the smell of a female.

Please don't breed your guinea pigs - there is about a 25% chance that she'll die from complications during pregnancy. Many guinea pig breeders eventually stop breeding because they can't handle the losses. Also, if your pigs are above a certain age - some people say 8 months, some say a year - the female won't be able to deliver a litter normally and will likely either die or require a C-section.

Answer 2

Um, personally I wouldn't breed because your female could die while being pregnant, or during labour, and if there is a problem you need to get her to a vet to get her a c-section which gets REALLY expensive, and when a guinea pig is pregnant you have to supply them with MORE vitamin c, MORE veggies, and what will happen if you can't find homes for all of the babies, I have 3  two week old babies with their mommy and I know how easy to stress the mommy out, they bite and my friends pregnant guinea pig made her bleed, and you cant even move a thing in the cage or the mom could get so stressed out that she could even LOSE ALL the babies.

So that's all i gotta say, that's just me personally, but that's good that u wanna get the boys neutered. I dont know anywhere where you can get guinea pigs spayed or neutered

Answer 3

You will have to find a vet to do it; get the phone book out and call all your local vets to get quotes. Prices vary from vet to vet - this way you can pick the least expensive place.

Answer 4

It all depends where you live Like over here in Austin there is a place called Friskees it's a small pet care place they treat a lot of animals you should check the phone book and see where there are cheap places for you
