Adult Guinea Pig
I've had a terrible time.
Last Monday I made the decision to have Basil put to sleep. I noticed some changes with him and when he started to slightly lose weight I knew his time was near. The vet suspected tumour(s) on the lung and potential heart failure. I knew we would be quickly coming to the stage of choosing to eat or breathe though I think he was at the start of it. I know in my mind it was the right thing to do, my heart still breaks.
Basil's story is the same as his late brother, Cyril. Both boys are buried next to each other.
This is the end of my piggy journey for health reasons. I'll still be around though helping where I can
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for support, advice and laughs. Being there for the ups and downs, and generally having the forum being a welcoming and caring place. I doubt these piggies would have had the life they had without you
