Tilly seems to be suffering a little neurological decline and is struggling now with eating, she needs regular prompting to finish her food. I have a feeling she is developing/developed dementia or similar, which seems entirely possible given her age. She seems to zone out and forget what she is doing if you don't give her a gentle nudge in the right direction. Banjo and Lily are taking it in turns to lay next to her when she's in her cage.
Depending on how this week goes, I am leaning towards taking her to be put to sleep as I am not 100% she is still enjoying the things she previously enjoyed. I am hoping maybe she will regain a little bit of herself but its probably not likely but she's done well, bless her.
While giving Mabel her syringe feed tonight, Amber decided it wasn't fair that she wasn't getting any special food or attention and tried to climb into my lap to get to the cup
Ever the pig to do things on her terms, Tilly decided that this morning it was time to be reunited with her daughters
She was as well as ever when I did her 9am meds, she must have passed extremely quickly and peacefully which is a comfort.
Sorry for your loss. Tilly lived an extraordinary life no doubt due to the love and care you gave her. I’m sure she’s now reunited with her daughters over the rainbow bridge
I am sorry Tilley has left for the bridge but glad you didn't have to make that decision for her. What a wonderful life of love she had with you.
Sleep tight sweet Tilley.
She is happily leading her small herd into the pastures to graze in the sun. She lived joyously and passed with a full tummy in the warmth of your care. She lived to enjoy the summer once more and to delight us.
