It's midnight and I am crying right now. My guinea pig (the one in my profile picture) died ten days ago because of a respiratory infection. My other guinea pig, Lily, is having the same problems and is showing the same symptoms, even if it could be mild.

Lily is currently on meds, and we will be taking her to the vet tomorrow again. I am so, so scared right now. We even got a new guinea pig so that Lily wouldn't feel lonely. (The new guinea pig is kept in a separate cage.) If something happened to Lily, I honestly don't know how I would cope without her. With her gone, I don't know what I would do.. Oh God, I am crying again.

What is worse is that Jojo showed symptoms of a respiratory infection in the morning and then passed away the same evening. And to see Lily showing the same symptoms is making me so scared.

I am sorry if this post came off as a vent. I just don't know what I would do if Lily died. Losing another guinea pig is too much for me. She's a ball of sunshine. I want her to live a long, happy and healthy life.

Thank you for reading.

I hope you have a great day ahead.

Hi and welcome

BIG HUGS

There are quite a range of rather nasty bugs beyond a normal bacterial respiratory infection. Antibiotics may not alway be able to get on top of those.
