Yes, its risky, but a lot "less" risky if you have a vet that is familiar with cavies. The cost can range from $60 to $120 depending upon the vet and region. Very observant follow up care is a must to make sure the surgery site doesn't abcess.

Yay for adopting! ;)

Sorry, this kind of a short list, but this was all that I could find! Also, I am not sure how much it cost to neuter a guinea pig. Sorry!

I hope that this helps! Thanks, and good luck!

Oh ya, thank you so much for adopting from an animal shelter! That's where I got my guinea pig ToTo from! Thanks, and GOOD LUCK!

Congrats on possibly adopting! I don't know where in NY you are but I'm enclosing a link from Guinealynx.info that lists recommended vets in each state. Hopefully one is close to you.

There is also lots of info about neutering on that site.

if getting a guinea pig, please get 2 to begin with as they are social animals needing company from their own kind. Great to adopt - why not adopt 2 boys or 2 girls - no neutering costs then!!
