Thank you everyone so much for your kind words and support I was tearing up reading all of your replies. You have all made me feel at home on this site and its so nice to find others who care so much about Guinea Pigs like I do. You are all so amazing I can't put into words just how much I appreciate you all!
You're very right in what you said about the Vet Weibke. I think I was just in a lot of shock at the time of writing my last post over how different the first diagnosis was to the second one and trying to come to terms with it all. I know now that I don't blame her (and I'm trying not to blame myself). She has been very helpful and I really appreciate how much time she has taken for me with the phone calls and appointments all for Honey. I am also very sorry to hear about your Dad, I cannot imagine how hard it must have been for you and I send you my condolences. Life is so precious and I agree with you that its so important to make many loving and happy memories with the ones we love.
I had another call with the Vet today to discuss the surgery and she has suggested we do a biopsy. This will help determine if the tumours are benign or not so would give them a clearer idea of what to expect with surgery, and if they are benign then she would have a higher chance of surviving the operation as it may not have spread to different organs. Again, I am so appreciative that the Vet is giving me so much time and her expertise in helping us all do what's best for Honey. So we are going to go ahead with the biopsy this week and hopefully this will give us a better idea of what choice to make in this difficult decision.
I'm not sure how to tag people in this response but I'm hoping you guys will see this -Furryfriends and Betsy, if its okay for me to ask, how did the recovery go for your piggies after their surgery? Do they tend to try and pick at any stitches and did you have to help them with eating e.g syringe feeding? I would be grateful for any advice just so I know how to properly prepare if it comes to surgery for Honey.
Honey did well over the weekend, still eating and drinking and is fairly lively. I think the pain meds are working as she's not pulled out more of her hair that I can see. We spent a lot of time with her and Hunter
Thank you again everyone, I'm truly blown away by your support and how lovely and welcoming you all have been x
