Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and have felt the need to join you as one of my guinea pigs sadly passed away suddenly a couple of days ago and his friend has taken it really hard. We followed all of the guidelines by letting Milky say goodbye to Monty's body, we have made sure that he still has two pieces of fabric that smell of Monty and we have been spending extra time with milky even though he is out at all times anyway.
Milky has not eaten since Monday morning. He has been seen by a vet to ensure that he is not unwell and he has been given a clean bill of health. We have now gotten our hands on some syringe food to try and jump start his appetite again as he will not drink or eat anything which is obviously concerning. He is just laying down, snuggling blankets or sitting on me. The best way to describe it is a Guinea Pig's version of depression!
If anyone else has experienced a grieving piggie to this extent, please do get in touch as any help/ guidance would be much appreciated!
Thank you,
Beckie
