Rillo developed a respiratory infection (could be the stress of the op, the anaesthetic or even could have been already there) & passed this morning but they cannot say for sure what killed her. The nurse syringe fed her & when she went back 20 minutes later she was gone. I had phoned to check on her last night & the vet said she was perky, but still not eating as well as they hoped. I so wish I'd've followed my gut instinct & brought her home last night, at least she would have been with us & known we were there. I know I'm probably clutching at straws trying to find reasons & answers as she was getting on bless her (6 1/2 years old) but that's 3 in the last 12 months. I am having her cremated (have never done this as usually bury my guins in 'Piggy Pots') as she was very special to me. Not quite sure what I will do with her ashes yet but am considering having some made into a glass pendant or something so I can carry her with me always, but we'll see. My faith has been shaken in that particular surgery, I can't help how I feel so will be looking for a more cavy savvy vets. Thank you all so much, I really do appreciate all your kind word, it helps so much knowing there are people out there who can understand how hard it is to lose not just a 'pet' but a beloved member of the family.
If love could have saved you,
You would have lived forever.
RIP Beautiful girl
