Hello All,
I’m Tasha with a beautiful cheeky Abyssinian guineapig called Bob.
Bob is 6/7 years old and is normally such a foody, running around playing and unfortunately within a few days his health started to go down hill very quickly..so we took him to the vets and the vets suspected that he had a heart/lung condition - hearing this just broke my heart… he said that the procedures for Bob were too risky regardless because of his age and how he kept moving so in the XRAY it would be an issue. So we were given antibiotics and pain relief… I have been crying all night and even this morning because I absolutely love Bob, everyone just thinks of him as a just a “rodent” with no meaning … but there so much more than tht…
He’s on critical care food, but this morning he’s gotten worse and I don’t think the medication is working either😞
I was hoping to come on here for some support as it might be his time soon and I know I’m going to be severely depressed.
Please have Bob in your thoughts… He’s such a fighter…
 
Oh Tasha I’m so sorry you have lost Bob. They are definitely not just a rodent and everyone here totally understands how devastating it is to lose a loved piggy. It sounds like Bob had a fantastic life with you. And a long life too. Think of him now popcorning over the rainbow bridge where the grass is so green with all of our dearly loved lost piggies. Take care. ❤️
 
I am sorry Tasha to read your sad news about Bob. Take heart he had a wonderful long life filled with love and care and he will have known just how much you loved him :hug:

Popcorn high little man 🌈
 
Guinea Pigs measure their time in happy todays. You gave him lots of those and to live to his ripe old age is testament to how well you looked after him. He has taken all your love with him to the Rainbow Bridge.
 
I am so sorry you lost Bob. It really doesn't matter how much warning we get, the loss is always so very difficult. I lost a very poorly pig once the same night after a vets appointment too. I like to think she was fighting hard for me but once we knew what a difficult path lay ahead (that had a slim chance of being successful) she made the decision on when to go. Take solace that you did all you could for Bob and gave him a very happy life. He will have passed knowing just how loved and special he is.

Thank you for your lovely words😞❤️🌈
 
I am so sorry for your loss.
Everyone here understands and is happy to listen to you and support you.

When the time feels right you might want to write a tribute to Bob in the rainbow bridge section of the Forum.
it sounds like he had an amazing life with you and was very loved indeed.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss. ((HUGS)) to you. Bob was obviously much loved and I'm sure you gave him a wonderful life and he was able to live to his old age. Everyone here understand that our beloved piggies are not 'just a rodent,' they're a loved member of the family, so you will definitely find the support of people who understand how hard it is to lose one here. Thinking of you.
 
So sorry that Bob didn’t make it.
He was a good age which is a tribute to your love and care.
He will leave a big hole in your heart.
Be gentle with yourself as you grieve.
 
So sorry You have had to say goodbye to Bob. It is heartbreaking every time and they leave a big space in your life. He would have known how much love you had for him and that love doesn't just end when they travel to the bridge, but as your grief subsides you will b able to think of him and treasure the memories of all the happy times.
Popcorn free Bob 🌈
 
Oh Tasha what a heartbreaking day for you. It's so sad when they reach their end, but it sounds like he knew it was time to go. Sometimes we hope they will stay a little longer but he would have known how much you loved him. Time will help but for now just know that there are many of us on here who understand just how difficult it is to say goodbye. he reached a grand old age, you should be proud. Rest in peace lovely boy x
