Junior Guinea Pig
After Mimiu died suddenly a few days ago, this time it was Momo's turn...
Unlike Mimiu, who had not drunk water since I got him and was apathetic, Momo was completely healthy, with a stable weight, vocalizing, eating, drinking water and running around. I took Momo, Bijou and Xuxu to a routine vet appointment last Thursday. According to the vet, everything was normal, including the blood tests of all three and everything was fine with the skin and fur under the microscope. But to prevent anything, since Mimiu died, the three started taking Bactrim 0.7mL (12/12 hrs) plus ivermectin.
This morning at 7 am, I found Momo dead in the middle of his cage... He looked like a little angel resting. He was my favorite guinea pig, although I loved them all, he was the one I loved the most, I can say he was my heart piggy. A part of me was gone with his death.
I'm sorry if I'm not allowed to say this on this forum, but honestly, I feel useless. I always bought the most expensive and highest quality hay for him, I was able to increase his cage to 16sq ft, I spent a fortune on accessories, hiding places, fleece, quality vegetables and trips to several vets to find the best for him. Why is he the one who has to die when I see several guinea pigs living in deplorable conditions surviving?
In June of 2024 when I got him, he was living in a tiny cage being mistreated, he had tilt head. And now that he started to be happy, in just 7 months with him, this happens. It's so revolting.
First Mimiu, now Momo?
I'm sincerely sorry for the outburst. If it's not allowed to post this here, and someone delete the post, that's fine. I have a terrible headache and I don't know what to do. I look at Bijou, Momo's company and I look at Xuxu, Mimiu's company and I feel useless.
