Hi
I've recently been offered a pair of sows by a home that is unable to care for them anymore (they have very genuine and valid reasons for rehoming). I used to have guinea pigs as a child as my mum ran a GP rescue, but pet care has changed a lot in the last ten years so I'm researching piggie care before the girls arrive! I was pointed at this forum by Kayjay (thanks kayjay!)
Someone has already told me that the GPs will need worming every three months. I'd like to take them to the vets for this so that they can have a general health check at the same time, but my question is, is worming GPs something that most vets will do or will I struggle to convince them it's neccessary?
Also, roughly how much will I be looking at for worming both girls? (just so I can start to plan my finances! :laugh: ) Thanks!
