General Neuter Age or Weight?

How does a vet decide a male is ready for neutering. Do they go by age or weight?

Good question! I've been waiting for a reply to you also!

@SRUSTMAN My vet told me that as long as he was over 2 months old and over a pound, he could do it. Finn had the surgery 2 weeks ago and all went well. His incision is completely healed up and hair is growing over it already. I also read online that 650 grams is the proper weight. Finn was not that heavy though. I think it will depend on the vet. Good luck!

From Guinea Lynx:

The age at which a vet is willing to castrate a cavy varies. Some have a two month minimum, others 3 or 4. Four months old is preferable. He should also be a good weight. 650 grams is the minimum, heavier is better.
