At this guinea-friendly practice (affectionately known as "Pig City" because of the number of guineas they treat!), they are used to seeing piggies that have travelled long distances for treatment.  The nurses are very good at stepping in and syringe feeding piggies if the don't start eating immediately after operations.

Jenny Towers is very caring and enthusiastic about guinea pigs.  She learned quickly from James when he was at Tilehurst and can do X-rays, dental work and lance abscesses without anaesthetic.  Jenny is also at diagnosing / treating piggies and regularly operates successfully on guineas.  Common operations include castrations, bladder stones, removal of lumps etc, and her stitching is very neat.  Jenny regularly treats RSPCA Guinea Pigs as well as Chrissie's own Gorgeous Guineas.
