Well there's good news and bad news. As far as the vet can tell Patch isn't pregnant. He examined her thoroughly and she seems fine. The bad news is that he found one testicle tucked away inside Fudge so it looks like he hasn't neen neutered properly. I phoned the pet shop and my friend who works there (she recommended them) and neither can give me any answers. In fact I have fell out with my friend quite badly as I feel she has let me down. When I confronted her and told her she could have killed Patch she said I was being overdramatic and Guinea Pigs have litters all the time. The one thing I have learned from this is never to buy from a pet shop, ever again!! (And maybe to stick with females as this is my first ever male)
Anyway I am now in the situation that there is still a possibilty that Patch is pregnant but not showing yet and am still just as worried.
Fudge is booked in to be neutered properly on Friday and they are still separate. They had been together 4 weeks though so any advice on what to look out for would be appreciated.
The vet has advised me to weigh Patch every week and to keep them separate for 4 weeks after the op.
He said I am right to be concerned and to keep my eye on her and bring her back if I'm at all worried. He didn't even charge me a consultation fee. I was very impressed with this vets and their caring attitude.
Hopefully the vet is right and it is just middle-aged spread
