Thanks for this Free Ranger, it helps to hear this as we are so confused right now. To be honest she just 'disappeared' from the moment the vets removed the stone. She was not the same guinea, just blank, staring in to space, as if she had already gone.I'm so sorry for your loss, and after you had all tried so hard. I can appreciate how you feel - my girl made it through a surgery last month (which apparently went surprisingly well) but just didn't 'come round' and passed within 48 hours. I couldn't understand it as she had phases of seeming completely normal and gobbling her syringe food then she'd suddenly just zone out, dropped her head and go completely flat. Eventually she had a big nap and after that just refused anything. It's a really hard situation, and as the years go by I think it does get more painful. Be kind to yourself - you did everything you could x
Thanks VickiA. The "giving up" was her way out I guess. So hard when they are young. Her cage mate hopefully won't give up too.You are very much not alone @Pinki. Many of us have lost piggies who just decide to “give up”. Some after illness or surgery, others simply after the loss of a cage mate. It’s heartbreaking but please be reassured that you did all you could for her and please don’t let the “what ifs” trouble you. You are in shock at the moment, and grieving the unexpected loss. Big hugs.
Thank you so much. It's such a shock after it all seemed to go well. We will miss Tahini. xOh gosh just been reading through this now, I am so sorry you have lost her, what an awful thing to happen after such a promising post operative start, so sorry, sending big hugs x
Thanx so much..the second day is always a little easier. The HayBox delivery came this morning so Neem is suitably distracted with these new cold-pressed pellets.Hope you’re all ok x
Yes it feels as though it’s sunk in a bit doesn’t it, but still sending massive hugs to you and Neem Hope she enjoys her new pellets and has a good dayThanx so much..the second day is always a little easier. The HayBox delivery came this morning so Neem is suitably distracted with these new cold-pressed pellets.
