Hi Polly,
I got my piggy's claws clipped, cost £5, not unreasonable I thought.
£19 +£7 jab may seem pricey but if you can afford it it's worth it.
If you can't afford treatment PDSA will do the job and ask for you to pay whatever you can.
I had some sad news from my vet the other day. I took my piggy to the vet because of a clearly painful inflammation on the back and a what looked like a mite infection, it was.
Im new to piggyness so never noticed the mite attack.
I have now read up as much as I could on symptom of cavies
On check-up the vet noticed a huge cyst on the jaw. He said it was worth x-ray as it may be easily treatable if fluid. (I thought it was a rodent like pouch, I inherited this piggy from my niece who out grew it whence my naivete). The cyst had 'calciated' + there were two thus making this operation, a stressful one with a long recovery and no possibility of success. Being an elderly happy piggy with very little extra life expectancy, i agreed that no treatment was necessary other than watching for infection.
Price £77... which was for check-up, x-rays and mite treatment. I lost bill so can't itemise for you.
I now love my cucumber and would be devastated to loose him...
