Bruce

The first time I ever posted on this forum was after my guinea pig Dwight died. His brother Bruce managed well on his own for about a year and a half afterwards but unfortunately in April this year I lost him too.

Bruce was such a character. He was very particular about what he liked and disliked eg. he hated celery so much that he would actually run away from it if I put it anywhere near him. If there were strangers in the room and he felt nervous he would stay in his pigloo and shift it around to his food, water and hay- popping his head out like a snail. He was the most nervous wee guy ever if I wasn’t there. I noticed that especially when he got very sick- he would squeal for attention and only settled down when I picked him up. Those final weeks with him were the most stressful (I had to syringe feed him every 2 hours for about 2 weeks, every now and then I’d ask a family member to feed him so I could sleep for a whole 4 hours) but I’d do it all again in a heartbeat. I’m sure people thought I was weird but what else was I going to do?

It’s been a few months now but I still get so sad when I think about him. He was my best pal and I’ll miss him forever.

So sorry for your loss.
Bruce looked and sounded like a great piggy.
You tried and did your best to save him but sometimes the call of the rainbow bridge is just to strong.
Sending you hugs.
Sleep tight little Bruce.xx

So sorry for your loss.
It takes time to grieve and you clearly had such a loving relationship with Bruce.
He was a handsome boy.
Look after yourself and allow yourself to grieve for him.
Be patient with yourself too
