Titch passed away earlier. Her heart failed, my wonderful vet put her in an oxygen tent to try to help but it was too late. She slept into unconsciousness in my arms and then we helped her on her way.

She knew she was loved and we did our very best for her but heaven wanted her back. At least I spent those last precious hours with her.

Thank you for your help and support everyone.

Sleep well beautiful one, you leave a massive gaping hole in my heart x
 
I'm so sorry, I didn't expect that at all. Sounds like the emergency vet was wonderful though and did all she could to help. Night night Titch.
 
I am so so sorry, I know how hard & long you have fought for her :( They are such fragile creatures & just sometimes doing everything we can won't even help them if it is just their time to go :( Big ((Hugs)) for you. Popcorn free at the Bridge Titch, enjoy the lush green grass forever x
 
I'm sorry to hear this. Popcorn free little Titch.

You did everything you could and fought bravely and well for her. she could not ask for more.

Sending you hugs (and piggie kisses from my lot)
x
 
So very sorry for your loss. You did everything you could and she had the best chance with all the care you gave her.
Sadly it was not meant to be. RIP little Titch.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss, Titch fought so hard and you did everything you could. Sleep tight precious girl xx
 
I'm so sorry that you lost Titch. It sounds as though you did everything you possibly could for her, and I'm sure she knew she was loved. ((HUGS)) to you.
 
:(:( I'm so so sorry!

I know how much you love your piggies and this must be such an awful blow after all you and Titch have been through.

Big hugs. Sleep tight Titch xx
 
Hi everyone

I am so sorry I have not been on here to thank you all. I have lost many animals over the last 20 years as we all do, but this one for some reason hit me the hardest for loads of reasons. She was one of sweetest, friendliest girls you could have ever wished to have known, she would run up to you in the shed just for a head and back rub. We spent weeks getting her abscess healed, me flushing it twice a day and despite all her protestations she never once bit or got angry and just loved her cuddles after. Then trying to get her through this latest illness, up every 3 hours 24/7 to give her food and cuddles. We were bonded before but after all this, then to see her fight and suffer that last 30mins whilst we tried to help her has just killed me. I'll never forget rushing her to the vet in the car whilst she fought against her heart failing.

Cleaning them out yesterday I found her treat ball that she loved to roll around her cage (and get into some extraordinary places!), just got me howling again I am afraid.

I will do a rainbow bridge tribute to her some time today hopefully. I am back at work so I need to pull myself together. But thank you so much for all your kind words and support. I know everyone on here knows this feeling and how awful it is. xx

I know how bad you can feel when you lose a precious little one. I am still grieving for my little one Jack who I lost at the end of August. They are all special in their own way, but some little ones really get under your skin, particularly those that fight the hardest and longest but still do not make it despite the joint effort. I hand fed my Jack until he gave up and I still remember him running up to me when he was so poorly as though to say I really do not feel very well, help me. It makes you so sad. Hope you can eventually remember all the good times as good memories, but it will take a good while. At least she is now at peace and out of pain.
 
HI JackJack

Its awful when they look to you like that to help them. Titch just wanted to snuggle up under my chin the whole time. I am so glad I was off work and able to spend so many hours with her. Like you, she was being hand fed for the last few days every few hours night and day. We spent lots of time snoozing together. It broke my heart when she would wheek for her food and then could'nt face eating it. She looked so hopeful then so sad. At least they are both happy and free from pain now xx
 
I don't know you as new to this site but I've just read Titch's story from the beginning and sitting here with a tear in my eye for the poor wee piggie. Got a poorly piggie myself just now so know how much you get involved in your pets life and fight for survival! Sending you hugs x

I am so sorry for your loss - I know how hard it is and how awful it makes you feel. I can still see Jack running towards me and I still think about him most days. I have one guinea pig left - Joe, who was Jack's cage mate and every time I look at him, I remember Jack. I can only share your pain and sadness in Titch's passing and say that you are not alone as there are so many on here who all understand how you are feeling right now. If you have some photographs of Titch, keep them safe and make up a memories photo book. By making up the book, you not only safeguard your photographs and memories, it helps in your grieving process. Best wishes x

I still see titch running up wheeking! She had a very unique little, excitable wheek and I keep trying to remember that. They all leave that 'echo' in your heart. I now have only 3 piggies, 2 remaining of titchs herd and a little girl who prefers her own company. It's so quiet now with just the two together and it makes me miss titch even more! Thank you so much for your support xx
