getting my PBP neutered

Question

Fred Astaire My mini PBP is 4months old, lately he has started getting more aggressive, smelling bad, and foaming at the mouth, and his testicles look like they're going to explode if they get any bigger! I know its because he's "maturing" but is he big enough to get neutered? he's about 8inches tall and 14lbs. If I can get him neutered, how much will it cost, roughly?

Answer
Your pig is old enough to be neutered. Everything you describe, the smell, foam, etc., is how a healthy, intact boar acts.

The procedure for neutering almost the same as a farm pig, but your vet will want to check the inguineal ring for hernias.

Veterinary costs vary widely, depending on your location and the facility you choose. Clinics are usually less expensive than 24 hour hospitals. In places where costs are higher (rent, etc), vets must charge more.
