Yesterday morning Wren didn’t want Breakfast. All she wanted to do was sit in her little hay tray, sprawled out trying to get comfortable. I suspected bloat though her tummy didn’t seem overly hard or big. There was no sign of any recent poops from her. I have her a little bit of critical care and called the vet.
To my surprise my vet, Aaron had an opening nearly afternoon.

At the vets Aaron could tell that gut statis had taken a hold of her, Though he didn’t think she was overly bloated either. For whatever reason, I will not know, her Gut had stopped working. Her temperature was extremely low and her circulation was poor. she was easy to examine, just sat on the table without any fuss..this is not like Wren at all she’s a very skittish little lady. Her sides also kept twitching as though a little fit, her body was giving up.
We made the decision to let her go. I feel awful that we didn’t even try, didn’t give her a chance..But Aaron assured me he really didn’t think treatment would work and it would be a case of me getting home with her and her going downhill.

I only had Wren under a year, I got her when I was 9 months pregnant and Oscar is now 9 months old. It wasn’t enough time at all, Though it feels like she’s been a part of my herd forever, she fitted in beautifully with Henry whom has now lost his second wiflet in a year.
Wren came from a nice family, who lost her cagemate and wanted Wren to go to a new home. When I picked her up she was rather lean and ‘ratty’ looking, her coat was dull and itchy.
It didn’t take long for wren to put on a good amount of weight and her lovely red coat to become full and fluffy, I loved her little petite face and her stubborn personality. She didn’t much like humans but gosh she had a lot of character, always stood on her hind legs when waiting for dinner to be put down. Her wheek was incredibly loud.
She was only 3 and a half..too young.
I put Wrens body in the cage for a while. Henry was shy of it. He knew, he knows. And he’s sad. We both are. It wasn’t enough rather unexpected, she was fine the day before..so it seemed anyway.

Thank you Wren for being a part of my life. We love you and miss you little one, say hello to the others for me.
Good night, enjoy rainbow bridge. And I’m sorry I couldn’t help you get better 💔

What a loving tribute to a very special girl!

Wren clearly had a very happy life with you and Henry. What a cutie girl with a feisty face she was! No wonder you and Henry are missing her so much! ❤️

I am so very sorry that your little Wren didn't have longer. Real gut stasis (gut falls silent and stops moving; bloating is optional) is sadly a life threatening condition that always hits out of the blue and without warning. It is rather concerning in a younger piggy since there can be an underlying weakness/health issue. It always leaves you in shock because you can never brace for it and it comes on so very fast and devastatingly. You have made the right decision when she didn't bounce back fairly quickly. :(

PS: Unfortunately, vets have taken to labelling most tummy upsets (primary or secondary) as 'gut stasis' (i.e. the gut stopping to work), whether that is the gut falling deadly silent and stopping to move or whether it is going the other way with gassing up, gurgling like mad and going tight as a drum. The whole or just one part of the digestive tract can be affected. :(
 
What a beautiful tribute to a stunning piggy.
I am so sorry you have had to let Wren go Hannah. You were guided by Aaron that it was the right thing to do, you made the right decision and saved little Wren pain. Please don't feel guilty or think you made the wrong call and failed Wren you didn't.
Sleep tight gorgeous Wren. Xx
