Know any EXPERT piggy vets in Sonoma/Marin co. California?  HELP i dont want to lose my girl!!

Answer
Hi Marcia

That all sounds quite complicated and I am not a vet lol. Behaviour is more my forte.

I live in UK so dont know anything about vets in US. From what you say surgery is the only option but in your position I would be guided by the vet.
