Mavis Needs Some Healing Vibes

YvonneBlue said:
My work colleagues are a bit dismissive of my sadness. When it comes to pets they don't seem to think that guinea pigs are in the same league as their dogs and cats.

Sadly that is often the case. They are still seen as throwaway kids pets by many people. I'm so sorry about the devastating news about Mavis. I too, would not opt for the chemo. You know her best and if you think Palliative care is the best thing for her then you do that. Keep her comfortable for as long as possible and make lots of happy memories and if she is a cuddly piggy give her a cuddle every day. Have a hug. :hug:
 
Sorry to hear the undesirable news about Mavis, and for all your other sick piggy problems too. :hug::hug:
FWIW, in the same boat I think I'd opt for palliative care rather than chemo. Better to keep her comfortable and happy in herself for a slightly shorter time than to put her through the stress and unpleasantness of strong yukky medicines. I hope she has plenty of happy todays to come still 🙏
🤞
 
So sorry for Mavis’ diagnosis.
I wouldn’t go the chemo route either.
Palliative care is a good option, it’s the one I opted for with Jemimah.
Make lots of happy memories and give Mavis lots of happy todays.

You could do without ringworm or other illnesses at a time like this, but remember that your piggies are in the very best hands and the dark times don’t last forever.
Hugs :hug:
 
I’m so sorry to hear of Mavis’ diagnosis. You know her best so are in the best position to decide how to proceed. I hope the happy todays continue to be filled with lovely memories, for you both. 💕
 
Oh Yvonne, I’m so sad to see your sad news, sending enormous hugs to you and your beautiful girl. Lymphoma is such a horrible and tough diagnosis, sending you all lots of love and hope that you and Mavis have lots more happy time together, she’s so lucky to have such a loving, caring mum. I’m so sorry about Peggy’s ringworm too and really hope she’s rid of it soon, really hope no one else is affected either xx
 
So sorry about the diagnosis you've gotten,I think I'd go down the palliative care route too.Mavis has got such a lovely owner and I know she'll have many happy days.I'm sorry about the ringworm issue too,I hope you manage to get on top of it soon xx
 
Unfortunately Mavis has started to rapidly decline over the past few days. She is no longer eating very much and only moving when it's veggies time. So we have made the very difficult and sad decision to make an appointment to help her over the rainbow bridge tomorrow. We feel she no longer has a good quality of life and may not be able to show us that she is in pain. I can't bear to see her looking so sad.

I'm also worried about Peggy as she is quite frail and has never been apart from Mavis. It's breaking my heart seeing them lying together in the hay.😢

Please keep us in your thoughts tomorrow.
 
I’m sorry to hear this. The final act of love but difficult nonetheless. Wishing Mavis, a Peggy and you all the best for tomorrow. Lots of hugs
 
So sorry to hear this, Mavis is lucky to have an owner who loves her so much.

Sounds like your girls are spending some extra time together, a last goodbye. Keeping you all in my thoughts and wishing you luck tomorrow❤️
 
Such a hard decision to make but you know it’s the right one. You’ve given Mavis a wonderful life. Thinking of you all today. ❤️
 
I'm so sorry Yvonne, you both did all you could for poor Mavis :( It's one of the hardest decisions we ever have to make for our pets, but you know it's the right one. ❤️
 
Yvonne I’m so sorry today will be such a difficult and sad day, sending big hugs. Take heart Marvis had a wonderful life filled with lots of love and care x
 
I’m so sorry. Sending love and thinking of you all today.
 
Mavis has gone to be reunited with Georgie at the rainbow bridge. Our vet was lovely and agreed with us that it was the right time to say goodbye. We brought Mavis home so that Peggy could say goodbye and it was sad to see her trying to wake her up by nudging her. Lots of tears have been shed but we know we did the right thing. Mavis was 7 years old and had been part of our family for almost 5 years, we will miss her very much/

Sleep tight our sweet girl. 🌈 ❤️
