Adult Guinea Pig
Sending you big hugs! You've absolutely made the right decision and done all that you could. You're in my thoughts. x
I'm so sorry to hear the sad news of Gethin's passing. I'm sure he had an incredible life as all piggies do, and Mister will be at the rainbow bridge entrance waiting to greet himHUGS
Be sad but please don't feel bad about having done the kindest thing for your gorgeous boy.
Because he has been such an integral part of your life, you will never completely lose him; he will always be there in your heart and your memories - but that is for later once you have worked through the most painful part of the grieving process.
PS: If it helps you any, I had to rush my Gethin for an emergency pts to the local vets this evening in order to spare him a painful death. He was still OK yesterday evening but fell ill overnight and continued to deteriorate quickly throughout the day.
Unfortunately, as trite as it sounds, you can really never choose the when and how of a death; all you can do is to make their life as happy and their end as gentle as possible - and Gethin certainly had that with two great loves in his 6 year of life. It's piggy #6 to grieve for in just over 2 months for me...
