Update on my "girl"

[Annessa (TimsCavyPrincess)]

[glow=lime,2,300]Okay, does anyone know of a good cavy vet in so cali?
I met up with a lady who privatley rescues piggies, she is an ex breeder. I took my 2 "girls" to her.

Well thank god she said my one wasnt pregnant. Actually she said it wasnt even a girl. Its amazing how long it took for someone just to tell me my pig was a boy!
Im just glad he didnt breed his mom! Which isnt spayed, even though I paid for her to be. Im actually glad he didnt do it after I heard all the risks.

So I now am building a C&C cage that is divided in the middle so they can still see eachother.

Im now looking to get 2 more piggies so each has a friend of the same sex!!! Or a neutered boar for my sow![/glow]

I'm in Cincinnati so I'm no help! I am still amazed they have "Rodentologists" in the UK!

Here's a very good page about finding a good vet in the USA www.guinealynx.info/vet.html

If you fill in your details here, www.aracnet.com/cgi-usr/seagull/vetfinder.cgi fingers crossed you'll find a good cavy vet.

Don't they have many rodentologists in the US Kitty?

Gosh... now it's a boy? I'd be mightily confused if I were you!

Did you want to maybe send us some pics of 'his' genitals? At another forum I frequent, someone was told it was a girl and that she could be pregnant, but from a photo we could clearly see it was a male.

Is there any way you can tell if a sow has been spayed? There's virtually no way with boars except knowledge of what the scrotal area looks like..

Were these the pigs you thought the vet had mated? This all sounds very odd the vet would have noticed if they were male. Are you sure its all true?

[glow=lime,2,300]I honestly dont know what to believe anymore. I know you can tell if a dog is spayed by feeling for anything in that area. The lady said she still felt all her "girl parts". I seperated them just in case. I dont care if its a boy or a girl i love it!! Ya, I will try to get a picture of its genitals. Im so frustrated! First I have 2 girls, then a pregnant girl, and now its a boy! I always had a feeling it was a boy but I dont know how to tell for sure so I was going by what people told me.[/glow]
