You should call them. Sometimes euthanization is the ethical thing to do to relieve the suffering of an animal that either cannot be healed, or cannot be healed without disproportionate expenditure of resources. If you do not have an established veterinarian to consult, I'm sure that these people will be able to get you in touch with someone who can help you figure out whether it is more ethical to have them euthanized or to try and save them. It is a hard decision to make, I've been through that a few times myself. A good, ethical veterinarian will be able to help *you,* regardless of whether the path will be through restoring the health of the animal, or through ending the suffering of the animal. Neither road is easy, and neither road is always right, but as animal owners, it is our responsibility to the animal to do the right thing for that animal when the choice must be made.
Animal Care does everything they can to save every animal that comes through the door. That being said they only have so much kennel space and it ultimately falls back on the community to find homes for these pets because otherwise good animals have to be put down because there just isnt any more room. It takes a whole community to save these animals.
I know I'm late, but Healthpointe Vet Clinic in Duncan is amazing with guinea pigs. They performed surgery and removed a bladder stone from one of my pigs and have always been extremely helpful and knowledgable.
But this tiny pig is surgery is sick
