If anyone is interested in Dots op, her story is going.up on the cat and rabbit care clinics facebook page, they have chosen her because it wasnt a routine spay.Should be up tomorrow. I had to sign permission first. I think this is a great idea

( i dont know if its a story, but the details will be there and pictures of the lump i believe)

I have to say it's very interesting but I would be a bit worried about the appearance to be recommending spaying all female pigs as the last paragraph would seem to imply

Thanks for posting this👍. I dont know if spaying every female would be a good idea or not. Imo i think its a bit much, but then again Dots wasnt a routine one. Simonhas a high success rate doing them. But i think it might be best left until ovarian problems come. I really am not sure though. It looks bad to me but to him its probably not that bad

Poor dot! Glad she's feeling much better after that.

I think routinely spaying is a bit risky for piggies but then on the other hand, my first sow was crunchie who was spayed to ovarian cysts at 4, fudge was spayed due to ovarian cysts that where very painful at the old age of 8 with congestive heart failure, mallow was spayed at 1 year due to an ovarian growth and my current 3 year old Rowan is due a scan for cysts as she's displaying symptoms. Only 3 year old dolly and 3.5 year old Poppet haven't had reproductive issues but there's still time.. I don't know if I'm just unlucky or the instance is really high but would I spay my sow to prevent these issues? Personally I wouldn't I don't think x
 
I wouldn't hesitate to get a sow spayed by Simon. I recently had a chat with him about the possibility of spaying all sows before we rehome them (we already castrate all males). At the moment the cost is the issue, for our charity, but I am seriously thinking about doing it!
 
Gosh.... bet she feels better with that gone ! Wishing her a speedy recovery x

That's great I suppose it's just you hear so many people comment on it being riskier for sows as it's more intrusive but then if the only evidence is based on sows who are being spayed due to health problems it's not going to be that reliable. It would make sense that otherwise healthy and young sows are much more likely to recover as well as a young boar would

Yes, Whilst all surgery carries some risk, operating on a healthy piggy, is so straightforward, that the risk is tiny, as long as you’re using a skilled surgeon. Years ago we didn’t routinely spay bunnies and many died from uterine cancers, by the age of around 5. Nowadays most bunnies are spayed when they’re young and healthy. Many piggies get hormonal issues, later in life, when surgery would be more risky. I just think it could be a good idea to remove unwanted bits, before they go wrong, whilst the piggy is still young. I know there are many ways of looking at this, but I definitely think it’s a good subject for debate! 😊
 
Is the big ball part dots mass? I dont know which part was the bad part
 
This is an excellent idea,It will help to raise the profile of guinea pigs ,educate.i would think to spay all sows is costly,but you can be reassured that any rescue sow is not able to be used for breeding.
