Retve
New Born Pup
I currently have 4 female guinea pigs but never dealt with stones, I have dealt with sludge before though.
Recently my vet reached out saying they have a male (neutered) guinea pig who was left at their clinic who’s looking for a home. He was brought to the clinic to have an emergency bladder stone removal surgery. He’s about to turn 9 months old soon, so young to already have a stone.
I would really love to give him a home but of course I’m concerned about him already having had a stone.
Has anyone ever had success after a stone removal surgery with not having another stone return for some time? I know if I adopt him he’ll probably have problems again down the line I just hope it wouldn’t be immediately and that I wouldn’t be setting myself up for heartbreak.
I would be giving him a low calcium diet as I already do that for my bladder sludge prone piggy.
Thank you for any advice you might have.
