Junior Guinea Pig
We lost Vinnie two weeks ago today, it still feels very raw but I am starting to think of a companion for Curly. I am feeling very torn as to what to do next.
Some of your great knowledge and input would be a great help please!
Curly is two and has not been neutered, two months ago he had surgery for a bladder stone he has recovered well.
Our vet said because he has had the operation he is more likely to develop more stones.
My thinking was to neuter him and find him a female friend. His relationship with Vinnie was not always the best and they had to be separated on a few occasions. After Vinnie passed he just cracked on and seems quite happy. This is my thinking that he may be happier sharing with a female and not male competition, but is it wise to neuter him soon after his bladder op and what if he gets another stone and needs another op surely that's alot. Or do I knuckle down and try and find him a bro he likes? Vinnie loved having a fluffy friend to cuddle
