That's lovely and has me in tears.

I know that Hugo and Milan couldn't live together but it's clear how much they loved each other and how much you and your partner love them.

Sweet dreams Hugo xxxxxxxx
 
That is absolutely heartbreaking. It's so obvious how much you love them both, and how much they love you. You gave Hugo the best life possible and I truly believe they know they are loved and cared for, he would have know how much you tried for him. He's pain free and happy at the bridge now x
 
I can't stop watching it, I love it so much. I cry every time I watch it though. I hope it gets easier because it still hurts my chest to think about him.

P.S. Excuse the fact that in most pictures and videos we're in our pyjamas haha. Evening time is our snuggle time with the pigs.
 
Thank you all.

I did what I thought was best for him throughout. Now that he's gone I can't stop thinking about things I could have done differently, for example, his appetite decreased a lot on the Saturday night. I assumed it was due to the pain relief as the vet did warn me about possible side effects.. I syringe fed him every 2 hours throughout the night and managed to get a good amount down him but didn't take him to the vet until the morning. If I didn't just assume and rushed him to the emergency vets Saturday night instead of Sunday morning then maybe he would still be here and bloat could have been diagnosed earlier. I can't forgive myself and it's a lessen learnt, just the worst way to ever learn a lesson.

Mummy loves you Hugie and is so sorry!

You really can't blame yourself. You did everything you thought was right at the time. There's loads of things you'll think you should have done differently in hindsight but you really did everything possible. You weren't to know it was bloat, like you said it seemed like just a side effect of the meds, you shouldn't think it's your fault, Hugo certainly wouldn't blame you. He knows how much you tried and did everything possible to save him.

Thank you. I was so lucky to have 2 years of absolute joy and happiness with him!
 
Just think how happy you made him and what an amazing life he had.

I had 3 pigs when I was a lot younger, about 14, one passed away from old age, he was about 7. Then soon after his wifepig and daughter passed on too, they just missed him so much.
I was devestated and I still think of them everyday, but I remember all the good times and how happy we made each other.

Just think, you have all those amazing pictures and vidoes to look back on :hug:
 
This made me cry, I'm so sorry you lost him!

They way he was running up to u in the video shows he loved and trusted you with all his little heart- if there was anything you could have done for him, you would have done it.

He was very lucky to have you both love him so much.. my gf rarely pays attention to my girls and she has no idea whats gonna hit her when i lose my little miracle fudgey, as i will literally be unconsolable. I'm glad you have someone to help you through it, ofcourse including Milan and Effie!

I now need to go hug my piggies!
 
That's a beautiful tribute. Very moving. You told the story of hugo's final days very sensitively and it was very clear you kept his best interests at the forefront of your mind at all times. Please don't blame yourself.
 
I still can't stop watching the video. I have to agree that it is beautiful and Hugo's personality clearly shows. He was very timid around other people but he was a completely different pig with my partner and I :luv::wub:
 
I am so sorry that your wonderful and much loved little man has not made it.
RIP Hugo
 
A beautiful tribute x
