Re: Neutering, how safe is it?

Neutering does carry a risk as with all surgeries performed. It is a small risk though. Spaying carries a higher risk.

If you could find a very cavy savvy vet who has performed this type of surgery successfully many, many times then I'd say go for it if you can.

You say that they are in a divided 2x4? That means they each only have about a 2x2 space which is smaller than we recommend. If you get Mr. Mister neutered and open up the space after his little spermies die off, 3 weeks after surgery, then they would both have a much larger space to play in.
