Description
Our guinea pig recovery boarding gives your piggy specialist care after surgery, in a quiet, separate pen set up just for healing. Led by an experienced carer with a vet-nursing background here in Kilsyth, Melbourne, we follow your vet’s discharge plan through the day: giving medication to schedule, checking the surgical site, supporting their vitamin C, and keeping a close eye on eating, drinking, and droppings. You receive daily photos and updates, so you always know how your piggy is going.
Guinea pigs are quick to go off their food after anaesthetic, and a steady appetite is key to a smooth recovery. If yours is slow to eat, we provide Critical Care syringe feeding and gentle appetite support to keep their gut moving. Places are strictly limited, as each recovering patient receives dedicated one-on-one care.
What to bring
- Your vet’s discharge notes or surgical summary (required)
- All medications in their original packaging, with dosing instructions
- Any recovery food, vitamin C supplement, and a familiar blanket or piece of bedding
Before you book
- Flea and mite treatment is required per our standard policy, though timing can be discussed with your vet if your piggy is too unwell to treat
- Recovery patients are housed separately from general boarders to protect them while they heal
Simply choose your dates to book in, and bring your vet’s discharge notes to drop-off. We will take gentle care of your piggy while they get back on their feet.
What is guinea pig recovery boarding?
Specialist short-stay care for guinea pigs recovering from surgery or a procedure. Your piggy stays in a quiet, separate pen and we follow your vet's discharge plan with medication, vitamin C, wound checks, and close attention to their eating and droppings through the day.
Is my guinea pig watched every minute?
No, and we are always honest about that. Your piggy is cared for with regular checks through the day rather than constant one-on-one watching. If your vet has advised continuous or hospital-level monitoring, they are best staying with a vet clinic.
Do you give medications and vitamin C?
Yes. We give prescribed medications to your vet's schedule with a written log, and provide daily vitamin C support, which guinea pigs need especially while recovering.
What if my guinea pig won't eat?
Guinea pigs need to keep eating to recover well. If yours is slow to eat, we provide Critical Care syringe feeding and gentle appetite support, and we contact your vet if there is any concern.
What do I need to bring?
Your vet's discharge notes or surgical summary, all medications in their original packaging, any vitamin C supplement, and familiar recovery food or bedding.
Does my guinea pig need any treatments before boarding?
Guinea pigs do not need a vaccination, but flea and mite treatment is required per our standard policy. Recovery patients are housed separately to protect them while they heal.
Can you take my guinea pig straight from the vet?
Often yes. Please arrange it with us first so the recovery pen is ready for arrival.
How far in advance should I book?
As soon as you know the surgery date. Recovery places are strictly limited, so they fill quickly.
