Vet Appt. Help

[wickedrodent]

Im taking Dudley to the vet for a first checkup on the 5th of October at 4pm. If he is healthy, and I have the money (getting next pay check in 5 days which will all go to his appt.) than I will also schedule him to be neutered the monday after that. If not, he will have to wait another month or so until I get my next pay check.

Im not sure exactly what to ask. I want to make sure I ask all the right questions so that there is no doubt he is healthy. I am kind of worried because he isn't even 2lbs. I don't know his age, so it might be because he is young. I want to see if he can give an approx age.

Any other things I should be sure to ask?

I rescheduled because something else came up on that day. He is going tomorrow at 4pm.

The doctor will tell you everything you need to know. I didnt have to ask many questions!

Thanks =)

Ill be sure to post as soon as we get home. I might also take a piggies first vet appt. photo shoot. Ive been needing a reason to take one. hehe

Sorry, not vet/piggie photo shoot. I forgot my camera

Hes healthy. No Uri or mites, which was my biggest worries. He does need a little extra vit. C so I bought some kale and orange. He is approx. 6 months old according to the vet, Im setting his birthday at March 17th which is also my grandfathers bday and st. patricks day.

17th of March is also my Great Nannas, my 2 younger cousins and a family friends birthday!

Glad to hear it went well. Orange isn't as high in vitamin c as many think, if you look at this chart Guinea Lynx :: Vitamin C Chart you are far better off with parsley, kale, red capsicum or mustard spinach. You also have to then look at this chart http://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/...arts-info.html to work out how frequently you can feed these foods.

Kale, spinach, and parsley are all high in calcium, and kale has a lot of Vitamin A as well so I don't think they'd be the best veggies to feed a lot. Bell peppers are one of the best additions to daily veggies that are high in Vitamin C. Glad to hear your boy is healthy!

Thank you both =)

Im actually hesitant about feeding the orange at all, I might just stick with my peppers, parsley and kale. Dudley doesn't seem to like the kale though. Silly boy.
