Took my Punkypig in on fri for a routine castration.. Apparently piggies have a false uterus & punkypigs was in his testicle so my vet had to get the false uterus back up into his stomach before doing the casrtation.. He also reacted to the meds & has a swelling on his neck & the hair feel out too.. Bless him, he is on the mend now & as soon as 6wks is up, he has 2 lady piggies to love.. :wub: :wub:

Felt so guilty for putting him through it, but in the long run it will be for the best when he has his piggie wives.. Both long haired like him, good job i love grooming :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Oh I know that feeling, I did it with one of my chins and he had to go back for second op and was soo poorly, at the time I thought "what have I done" but it all worked out ok in the end - 99% of the time ops go fine, but theres always a risk and like you say its for the best in the long run - hes got 2 ladies!
