I have not yet needed a vet but have been looking for one just in case it is needed. Which is completely possible since I have a young pregnant sow. I have called 3 different vets in my area and have not been to impressed over the phone. None sound too cavy savvy. They all "see" Guinea pigs but none sound like they really got their stuff together. I am aware that I am just speaking to the receptionist but I've been asking things like:
"How often do you see cavies?" (One asked what a cavy was?!)
"Have your vets ever had to perform an emergency c-section?"
"Do you spay/nueter Guinea Pigs? How often?"
I just have not gotten the best vibe from the answers I've gotten. I have leaned as a parent to trust my mom instincts.
Long & short of this is... Does anybody know of a GREAT vet in West Virginia they would love to recommend? Maybe you can change my mind about one of the ones I've already called. I called the animal shelter & they had no suggestions. Thanks in advance!
