Whatever decisions you make for Maud going forward will be the right one (((hugs))) thinking of you x
I hope it's an infection and they can get on top of it. Feel better soon little Maud 
Keeping you and Maud in my thoughts. 
Yes, they are struggling for staff. I believe that they have two new vets with exotics experience joining them soon but i don't think they have actually started yet. Thankfully, Maud is now under the care of Aiden who is the head exotics vet.Ashleigh have two new exotics specialists alongside the current two (to my knowledge), but they lost I think three of their long-standing exotics vet in the space of a few months. It sounds like they're going through a difficult period.
Sending you big hugs! I hope Maud picks up a little. x
I ask them! I usually ask how often they treat guinea pigs. If they are performing a surgical procedure, i ask what their success rate is. I have asked for other vets at the practice to carry out surgery if i don't have confidence in the vet assigned to my pet. I know they have to get experience but with something like a spay, previous successful outcomes are important. I find that the vets at Ashleigh are happy to provide the information and have been fine about me taking a piggy to a more experienced vet for a particular procedure.
She got out of her bed when we brought them breakfast and came for her coriander. She has also eaten a little fennel, dandelion leaves and lettuce, and we are continuing to syringe feeding her. I called the vet about the bloat and he thinks that she may be swallowing air as it is difficult for her to breath. We now have Cisapride and Cerenia for her, which hopefully will help. Aiden advised that new research has shown that Cerenia can help piggies with gut issues (something worth noting if you ever have a piggy with bloat).
