The castration of rabbits, India and chinchilla Guinea pig
The surgery she even is no different than cats or dogs. Only smaller because, because with intra abdominal testes, these surgeries are various and delicate :
opening of the abdominal cavity and removal of ovaries and uterus or internal testicles (Chinchilla, octodon, not systematic in the Guinea pig of India), opening of the scrotum (skin of the testes) and ligation of the cords… Little difference with the dog and cat, even the ferret.
The difference is support for your pet.
It will be made in fasted than during the time preceding its operation, the water will be left.
It will have to be monitored very closely. It will require a mastery of anesthesia with almost mandatory use of gas anesthesia and pain prevention. It must be heated during and after anesthesia.
The pain is very little expressed. It must therefore be prevented at night and the aftermath of the operation. Resumption of the power supply and transit are the symptoms to monitor operating post.
Direct force-feeding in operating post after wake-up is mandatory and the gavage for several days is almost systematic (nutrition content and hyperdigestible + Prebiotics).
Generally they are patients… “patients”, but some do is bother not to remove points outside (illegal practice of veterinary medicine!). everything is provided by setting up a suture just below skin that they usually have the delicacy of do not touch.
During 2 days should leave them on paper towels to avoid shavings or straw sticking to the wound and keep warm .
Control to 2 days and before if you ahve; Removal of the points in 10 days (If there !)
