Our handsome little man Billiam passed away on Sunday morning. He was so brave and such a little fighter right up until the end. He'd had surgery to remove bladder stones and a bladder flush a couple of weeks after but stones in his ureter could not be removed and these are probably what prevented him from making a full recovery. When he stopped eating by himself we syringe fed him but the weight continued to drop off at an alarming rate. Despite our best efforts to keep him going he stopped swallowing any feed on Saturday afternoon and his little body began to shut down. We said our goodbyes that night and laid him in his favourite bed next to ours where he passed away in the early hours of Sunday.
Billy was born blind and came to us when he was one year old. He was my first piggy and we became extremely attached to him as he was a loner and only wanted the company of his human mum and dad, he was never interested in other piggies, in fact he found them annoying! He became a bit of a celebrity as he had an article written about him in the local newspaper and became a heartthrob as Mister April in the Guinea Pig Forum calendar 2007!
Now he has gone he has left a huge void, everything reminds us of him and makes us sad. We're going to miss him singing his little heart out for his breakfast, comically trundling out of his pigloo, popcorning his chunky body around his cage, curling up to sleep in his bed or on your lap, his delightful kissable lips and the sweet little licks he used to give us.
I can't believe he's gone. It breaks my heart to think of his final days, I wish there was more I could have done for him. He was five years old and taken from us way too soon.
