Adult Guinea Pig
This morning I've walked into the pig shed and have been greeted with quite a shock, my darling Jupiter has passed during the night. He would've been 4 next month. To say I'm shocked is an understatement. By the looks of it, it was a heart attack but I can only guess. He was fine, eating and wheezing at 9pm when I locked up the shed for the night. His cage mate, Apollo, seems ok. He looked so peaceful, so I can only hope whatever happened was quick and painless. I'll write a proper tribute soon. Just need to get over the initial shock.
Quick question, I know piggies may nibble at a fellow pig in hopes of waking them up, but I've noticed a small amount of dried blood around his mouth, would this be fitting for a heart related event?
