Sorry to hear your sad news. Look after yourself and remember, we are all here if you need us x
RIP Rillo, popcorn free over the bridge little one x
 
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

sounds like she was very much loved. the glass pendant sounds like a really lovely idea. sending lots of hugs. the grief is very tough. x
 
I am so sorry that Rillo didn't make it :( Please don't beat yourself up and think about the 'what if's'. My first piggy Connie died 5 days after having bladder surgery after we thought she was on the mend. We still don't know why she died but you have to think that you gave her the best chance.

Sleep tight Rillo xx
