Hi All
First, I've been a lurker here since we got our guinea pigs and I found out here how to make the larger cages with the wire shelving units and coroplast. I am also very anti-breeding because there are SO many animals without homes which is why, even though we were concerned about the higher mortality rate, we had our male GP, Forest, neutered 2 years ago. Unfortunately, we found out after the neutering that the vet, despite his claims to have done this many times, didn't have a clue (wound up with his intestines hanging out and a nasty abcess) which we took him to a much better vet for. And, I thought that was the end of it, however, now it appears that our female very well may be pregnant! She has a definite pear shape to her now which seems almost like it happened overnight and the bottom of her belly feels firm. Any ideas on this? I am going to call up the vet tomorrow to see about having her checked but am just wondering in the meantime - anyone else have a failed neuter? And is it possible thats not a pregnancy, that it could be something else?
