Piggy Pals

Well, Chippy and Penny finished their antibiotics on Wednesday and we haven't noticed any breathing issues with them so hopefully they are good now. Unfortunately, yesterday (Thursday) night Lilly started breathing weird. So I'm going to call around to see if any vets can see her today. I'm just hoping and praying that we can get her seen somewhere today because it's been really hard to get appointments (or even get seen at an emergency vet) lately. Everywhere is always booked up for at least a week or doesn't even see exotics at all. I'm guessing that Lilly has the same thing (URI) that the other piggies did, but we'll see what the vet says. I wish I knew why 3 of our piggies all of a sudden got URI's. :(

Thank you for all the kind words! One of our other girls is now coughing too. I think it's Sandy. Luckily, I was able to get both piggies an appointment today at the vets. Their appointment is at 11 so we'll see what they say soon. Thanks again for the support everyone. We really appreciate it!
 
Happy to report that all the piggies are doing well. :)
Just gave these 3 their kibble for the day. Here they are happily munching away...
Chippy, Lilly, and Suzy

Will have to post a picture of Sandy and Penny as soon as I can.
 
Haven't updated in a bit. We are still in the early stages of mourning our beloved Little Lilly, but she deserves to be remembered for the good times and I want to enjoy time with our other piggies too so here's some piggy pigture spam.

Very sad news tonight. Our piggy, Chippy, died suddenly this evening. One minute, she was running around the cage happy as can be and the next minute she was gone. She had no significant health issues that we were aware of. There were no signs of illness. She died within minutes so hopefully she was not in pain. We don't know what happened. She just went limp all of a sudden. We rushed her to a general veterinary ER, but she died before we got there. The staff at the hospital were able to help us arrange cremation. We just lost Chippy's cagemate, Lilly, a few weeks ago. As far as we know, Lilly did not have anything that was contagious. We are devastated. Chippy was a snuggle bug and more like a little doggo than a guinea pig. We tried not to play favorites, but Chippy was undoubtedly our favorite. I could write a book about how special she was. I may make a proper Rainbow Bridge post in the future, but for now I knew I just needed to get this out. Thank you for listening. I know we'll get through this, but this is going to be a tough loss, to say the least.
