Your Guinea Pig’s Health
You should visit a qualified exotics veterinarian at least once a year for check-ups on your guinea pig’s diet, behavior, and health.
Be prepared for your pet’s visits by making a list of any questions or concerns you may have ahead of time. Ask your veterinarian to recommend an appropriate age to have your guinea pig spayed or neutered; this will increase the chances of a longer, healthier life for your pet. Many guinea pig health problems are preventable with proper diet and care.
