The Forum will ask for donations ready for the next financial year, in the Spring I think. It's lovely of you to think of that at such a sad time for you.
I was very desperate throughout the night after some new issues came up. I started a thread about it, linking it here just in case:
Worried sick.
I’m so sorry to hear this - only just catching up on the forum and came on to ask how you were getting on. He was so lucky to have you to comfort him and I’m sure he knew he was at peace and with someone who cared for him. Wishing you lots of love
Out of nowhere, things got very bad. He struggled to walk, he was wheezing and “whistling”. He was very groggy and confused. It came out of nowhere, I still don’t know what happened. I don’t get it. We have no 24h vet for small animals here, the night guard of the biggest clinic suggested I call right after 8AM.
I stayed up all night, and at one point I just knew it was over. I made myself comfortable next to his cage and just sat with him. I really wanted to take him out and cuddle him, but I didn’t want to make it “confusing” for him in any way, nor did I want to bother his skin. I wanted him to know he was free to let go whenever he had to. He was cozy, safe and loved. His tummy was full, he was all warm and tucked in. And over the bridge he went. It’s like he just fell asleep.
This happened some hours ago. My heart is absolutely shattered. He was such a young boy, he went through so much pain and neglect, yet he had the sweetest personality. He fought so hard, he put up with countless seizures for almost 2 weeks!
I really hoped he could get a fair chance. I wish I could have done something better, or done more for him.
I’m so glad I found him. I hope he felt better and loved in the end, I really tried to make him happy and comfortable. I will 100% do my best to help a poorly piggy like him again, if/when I come across one.
Wherever you are, I hope you feel better. I hope you’re with my other piggies, all happy and in peace! Sleep tight, sweet Bruno. I miss you.
