Thats when you call and demand one and say it may be an emergency. No vet would be to busy for the well being of a pet, if he truly cared!!

There has to be a vet cheaper than that. Look around, call a few places and ask for estimates... you might be surprised at what you find.

I agree with Merry. And it seems this vet office isnt very helpful. Who ever heard of a vets office to busy to help? Thats their job!!

Ummmm, I don't know if this thread is for real or not. If it is real, three years is unacceptable to have an ongoing problem. Also if it's real, is the problem in the area of the scent gland? Also, if it is a real thread (vs a troll or game), then the guinea pig needs to be seen by a vet ASAP. Talking and chatting will not resolve the problem. Let us know what the vet says, mate. Thanks.

SKIPPERDOO: this thread is 100% REAL. mum is making an appointment tommorrow.Its mainly in the scent gland (and yes ive been told about impaction) but its also further away from the actual bottom. its all over his rump too. And the rest of his fur, when you brush it, is like wrestling! its REALLY worrying because even when i just pat him he squeals. cool avatar...

Theres really no way to get them to do it. They just do. Some do and some dont. mostly babies do.

Post by samnbud on Jun 26, 2005 7:12:00 GMT
Why would he? Only in very extreme cases of illness. Have it gone as far as that? And dont try and force the brush through his coat, you may make the problem worse! And it seems it pains him!!
