Leia’s last day... questions

Sweet dreams, little Leia. Popcorn free 🌈

Take strength in knowing that you did everything you could for her, right up to the end. Be sure to spend some time on yourselves and allow yourselves to grieve xx
 
Popcorn free across the rainbow bridge beautiful girl. ❤️ 🌈🐾
 
Take care as you grieve x I think you timed it just right, as you say she was ready to nip over the bridge 🌈
Sleep tight little Leia x
 
So sorry for your loss even although it was a deliberate decision and a gift of love for Leia.
Be gentle with yourself as you grieve

Leia’s gone 😞 but amongst the grief we feel a lot of relief and lighter because for the past day she was getting fed up of the attention and didn’t want to be held or touched much anymore. Last night and this morning she still chowed down on veggies, salad and her hay but we knew it was her time and she was ready to go. There was something off about her even though she was hiding it so well. When we were in the vet room saying our final goodbyes she was biting us and our clothes gently and wouldn’t settle in our arms. I think she had just had enough at the end and maybe we handled and cuddle her too much.

You sound like a wonderful owner x
 
It's the first time I've been on the forum in the three weeks since we put Leia down. I just posted on the rainbow piggy thread after it being too painful til now. I wanted to come back here and reread your messages of love and support and say a huge thank you for being there for us. It means a lot. Especially from fellow piggy slaves who understand how strong the grief is for these little animals.

It's still really hard and we both find ourselves balling our eyes out throughout the day. I think it's made harder knowing Ginger's time is soon approaching. It's a miracle she's still with us but we're seeing signs that it may be that time now and my boyfriend has taken her to the vet to find out what they think. Oreo has gone too as we found a little lump on her and I think she has ovarian cysts or something else as her nipples have become very large. It's very painful having all three of your first piggies sick or end of life so close together.
 
So sorry for the news about Ginger & Oreo.
Sometimes it does feel like everything comes at once.
We are always here for you.
Holding you in my heart ❤️
 
Simon said Ginger is doing really well and they’re very impressed how she is. He said it’s to be expected that she’s lost some weight and doesn’t like being handled very much but he doesn’t think she’s in any pain or discomfort and has a good quality of life. He said she’s got more time yet and what to look out for.

Oreo’s little lump is a sebaceous cyst and nothing to worry about. He said to just leave it alone as it’s really small at the moment. He struggled to find it and was impressed that we felt it. And we were right she does have ovarian cysts but very early stages so she’s being spayed next week. He said he wouldn’t hesitate because although the risk will never be zero she seems very well other than that. So here’s hoping it all goes well for her.

It feels nice to have a vet visit with good news after the last few visits. As good news as we could have hoped for.
 
((HUGS.)) I'm so sorry for your loss. Making the decision is so hard. She was beautiful piggie and she was obviously much loved and you gave her a wonderful life. We also recently loss our old lady pig, though she passed on her own, and the grieving is hard. For little guys, they take up a lot of space in our hearts. Thinking of you.
