As a lot of people know, I got my pepe nutered this week. I had separated my two piggies since they were boy and girl. They got lose a few times but not that long. Well I guess it was a little to late to get for the nuering. Wheezy is now pregnate, shes huge, I feel so bad! I thought since she was nelgleted she was just putting weight on being in a good situation. She has an appointment on monday to get checked out and make sure for sure, but shes looks just like my friends pig whos prenate(also an accident). Does anyone know how the vet check for prenacy? My friends piggy seems to be prenate for a long time.... like 4 months! Is this possiable? Lilly is huge... I mean she probly weighs a good 4 pounds! i have already gone to lynx web site but I havent really found anything I really need.
thanks in advance!

Guinea pigs are only pregnant for about two months (59-73 days). From about two weeks before (sometimes earlier) they're due you'll be able to feel them wriggling around when you gently place your hands on her stomach.

This is a good page of information on pregnancy at Guinea Lynx https://www.guinealynx.info/breeding.html and I'm sure that whatever questions you have, you'll get the best information if you post on the forums over there.

I'm pleased to hear Wheezy is getting a check up. If your friend's guinea pig has grown around the abdomen but hasn't given birth or been near a male for months, then she should definitely get a check up too. To make sure the swelling around her stomach hasn't been cause by something else (like a tumour) and that if she is pregnant (maybe it feels like it, but it hasn't actually been four months), she and the bubs are safe and well. I presume she removed the male from the female when she realised her mistake?

Good luck at the vets and I hope Pepe recovers well.
