Teenage Guinea Pig
Hi everyone,
I just found Amelia has passed away. She made it to 2 weeks old. I believe now she did have water on the brain because she was acting the same as she always has this morning, eating, wheeking, walking around unbalanced. We went for a walk and came back to find she has died. She was just laying there in the middle of the cage. Lulu and Walnut, her Mom and brother, were sitting in the corner away from her.
We buried her in our backyard next to my guinea pig, helen's, grave and next to a rose bush. I put one long stem rose on her grave and a large rock and some small ones in a circle.
I really miss that little girl. She was quite a fighter. We think that she had a stroke and went into a coma and then died from her brain swelling. The Vet warned us that is how it would happen if she had water on the brain. She was eating hay and green peppars this morning and her diarrhea had completely stopped. Poor little girl. She is at peace now. I only wish she could have had a long and happy life. I hope she found some happiness in her life with her Mom and brother and the different food she got to try.
So sad....
Here is a picture of her:
Rest in peace sweetheart...
