Cost for male guinea pig neuter?

Anyone have an approximate cost to have a male guinea neutered? I don't have a male guinea - but I figure if I ever want to put one in with my girls or find one I cannot resist at the ARL, it would be an option.

There is no one set cost. You have to call around to your local exotics vets and see what the vets in your area charge. It can really vary between $65 to $300.

Re: Cost for male guinea pig neuter?

Mine cost around 280.00 but I had a coupon for $35.00 off a first visit.
VCA website sometimes has these. VCA Animal Hospitals
I checked it and didn't see one now, They sell pet insurance too. I am not sure if that might help with the price or not. I didn't read it totally and don't know what is covered.

For my little guy it was $70. I'm sure both he and his female roommate are glad we did it!

Mine was $120.00 including the whole procedure, overnight stay, and medication. He is a very happy boy now with his 10 girlfriends!

Re: Cost for male guinea pig neuter?

Mine was 100 dollars (in Connecticut where everything costs too much) and I went about an hour away for it. He was there overnight and there was bloodwork.

Re: Cost for male guinea pig neuter?

Percy's neuter was around $180-200, but that was his initial appointment, anesthesia, surgery, antibiotics, pain meds, and a post-op visit.

Re: Cost for male guinea pig neuter?

Over here for neuter I don't think it's really that much either. Probably after everything around 100 for over here.
