guinea pig bereavement

Looking for some advice and help with my boar, he lost his brother who he's been with since birth less than a week ago. I just had the 2 of them and they were very close, since he passed he's still eating and drinking and I have had him close by as I work from home. In the evenings he's been...

I’m so broken right now. On October 29th, my piggy baby Oreo took his last breath in my arms. It happened so quickly. He came out of anesthesia late in the evening, was extremely restless and wanted us to pick him and was very confused. Before this, I found him crawling in the hay and went to...

Hello, Please forgive me for what is likely to be quite a rambling post, but I would just like to share some of my feelings to help me get out of my own head and get advice too. Between Jan and December this year I lost 3 guinea pigs: - Post spay surgery complications (died at home while I...

Hi everyone I just went to a vet an hour away for 6 hours and with a bill of $450 just to find one of my guinea pigs, Eevee, passed away. I don't know what to do. I'm letting Pandora see her right now but she seems to be scared. I've only had them both since September and it seems like she...

Hey everyone. I haven't been around for a while due to personal circumstances that have kept me busy. My mom had a heart attack and can't get scheduled for surgery to help her because of covid, and we're moving my grandma into hospice tomorrow. Naturally, this is utterly heartbreaking to me...

I want to start this off by saying I used to own two guinea pigs, then four, then three. My first two guinea pigs were Rhona and Rosie - I got them at six months old, and they were both born with health problems. I knew they might not make it to last 4 years, but I had settled with that. I...

Sadly Raj has passed away. Sadly he died when he was only two years old, which I know is young for a Guinea Pig, and that makes me very sad. I think he's had a happy life and I know Raj has had fun with his brother Cucumber, we try to make them go on the grass and have lots of space to live...
