Ted is poorly ☹️

Like others, my heart just sank when I read this. Ted has fought his way through so much, poor lad, and you've been (and continue to be) such a great owner. Sending what comfort we can over your way.
 
Oh no...this made me so sad. 😭 We all know how much you (and loads of members here) love Ted. He's one of the admired piggies here and I always look forward to reading an update about him and his journey. Big hugs for you and your hubby, and not to forget Ginger and Posh. :hug: I'm sure you'll all miss him terribly. Lots of love sending your way from me and my monsters. ❤❤❤ Please give my biggest kisses and hugs to Ted to take to the happy place. 😘🥰
 
So sorry you’ve had such heartbreaking news. Ted is a much loved boy on the forum and with your love and care has been a trouper. We will all miss him. What a lucky boy to have you in his life and vise versa. Sending you a big hug . Please take care of yourself x

I have some really sad news to tell the forum, it’s has been weighing on my mind but I just haven’t been able to bring myself to tell you all.

We took Ted to see Simon for his dental on Wednesday. I was happy to announce to Simon he had had a UTI but Ted had had AB’s and was back to his old self again. He rang back later after the dental with very bad news - he has examined Ted and found a mass he thinks is an enlarged kidney. It’s either a cancer or stones. He said he can do an X ray but he didn’t think at his age that it would alter the prognosis and said the UTI was wrongly diagnosed and that he suspects a stone or cancer has move into the pipe between the kidney and bladder. I have told Simon I don’t want any more procedures and only palliative care now. We live just too far away for any kind of treatment, 600 miles in one day is just horrendous especially now with winter weather, and what with this Covid, hotels are out. We think it would be cruel to put him through anymore procedures and really age is not on his side. So atm still very upset and shocked. I have rung and discussed this with local vets, Simon has sent down his findings too, so a plan for PTS has been put in place for when he starts to become ill or in any pain. Luckily he has been fine eating well, happy if a little bit less active until sadly this morning.
Ted has taken himself off away from the girls, he has shown no interest in food either, he is sleeping away I think. We have an appointment this afternoon for Ted’s last little visit x
I am gutted, I‘ve been trying my best just to get through each day and take things as they come. I will update tonight x

I am so sorry to hear about this, how terrible especially when we all believed the problem was sorted. I can't believe you've been feeling this way for almost a week now and acting so normal on the forum too. :( I think you're doing the right thing, it's alot of stress for these guinea pigs to keep travelling especially as they are unwell and putting him through an operation just wouldn't be worth the trauma. Winston was young and healthy when he has his Op, but it was almost too stressful/ traumatising for him, let alone an elderly guinea pig going under. Please take care of yourself and Ted, say your good-byes ❤️

Oh I am so very sorry to hear this :( I had tears in my eyes reading this. I am so sorry that Ted has decided that his time is here. He had such a good life with you and that is what really counts. You did everything you could for him, you cared for him, and, most importantly, he was so very loved - by you and the girls. So he will go over the rainbow bridge with lots and lots of wonderful memories. And I‘m sure Bill has missed him terribly and is already waiting at the other end for Ted - they have a lot of popcorning and catching up to do, after all 💕 we‘re sending you lots of love, hugs and piggy kisses xx
 
I’m so sorry to hear this, I can’t imagine how hard a decision it was for you to make. We can all see how much you love him and all the special care you have given him, and he is much loved on the Sending piggie hugs ❤️
 
Oh Jane, i am so very sorry to read this sad news. You must be heartbroken. Ted has been so lucky to have found you and he has had such a lovely life, firstly with Bill and more recently with his beautiful ladies. Piggies live for today and Ted has had a lot wonderful todays since he became part of your family. I can't imagine what you are going thorough at the moment but remember we are all here for you. Holding you in my heart. xx
 
This made me cry.
I know when I received the news of Jemimah’s tumour is was like a physical blow so I can understand something of how you feel.
I pray that however many days Ted has left will be happy days and that he will slip peacefully away at home, free from pain.
Bill and Jemimah will be waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for him.

Remember that you have started grieving now so be gentle with yourselves :hug:
 
I’m so sad to hear about Ted - sending Ted and you and your family much love - I’m thinking of you all
 
Oh Jane I’m so so sorry to hear the news about your lovely little Ted 💜 he is such a lucky boy to have such a special home with you and he is such a special boy. Sending you a big hug. Thinking of you x
 
I'm might be a older big bloke but I have tears flowing. . His battle has been bravely fought . . What a fantastic journey with you Bill and Ted. .
Jane you are and will always be a super piggie lover and the time is near that you become heart broken saying goodbye. .
I've said it before and I will many time again. . It's what we do with our piggies when we have them that's makes the bond causing this hurt. . When they need your help. .
I say to my piggies whenever they come to live or ill . . I pick them up and whisper "I promise you will never suffer" knowing that as you now . . Can be dam hard.
Give Ted a love from me pls. :luv:
We all meet again . .xx in the beautiful Rainbow world . . .
Dig Deep . . My respect to you and OH
 
We are all back home now. Ted was treated by a lovely lady vet who held his hand while he scampered over the Bridge. He had a very peaceful afternoon of love and cuddles from us all and he looked happy and contented and not in any pain. Ginger has given her special friend lots of love and licks and said her goodbyes first and Posh is now doing the same x
I have been so lucky and honoured to have this wonderful little Piggy in my life for nearly 6 years x
He’ll be happily playing now with his brother Bill and his love Jemimah ❤️
Goodnight Ted my beautiful boy x

Just caught up with your thread. So so sorry to hear about Ted. What a truly amazing life he had with you guys. Heart broken for you. Sending lots of love. Rest in peace beautiful Ted 🌈🌈❤️
 
Sending lots of love and big hugs. :hug: Popcorn free across the rainbow bridge Ted, your friend Bill will be waiting for you.🐾🌈
 
Well you know what I’m like as I loved him like my own 😭 but I’m just so pleased you all got some lovely time together and could say a proper goodbye. And his gorgeous girls could say a good piggy goodbye too, hope they’re ok. ❤️
The forum won’t be the same for me without my lovely Ted around, but he’s fought so hard and decided he wanted a nice cuppa and lots of his dried parsnip at my Rupert’s cafe with Bill, Jemimah and Jess! ❤️ And some chill out time now after all that kicking ass he did to fight all the odds!
So pleased his xmas present arrived and he could have a good scoff yesterday! Will treasure the lovely pic of him scoffing like the others I have! :love: Massive hugs and love to you all xx
