Eddie Had A Dental Today

Not open for further replies.
just wanted to come on quickly to let you know that eddie has passed away.

the vet rang just before midnight to say that eddie's condition had deteriorated and that both himself and aidan agreed that pts should be considered so as not to prolong things for eddie. he was struggling to maintain his temperature and he was very very weak.

i made my way to be with him and he seemed glad to see me. we had a cuddle and nose kisses. he could barely move and tried to drag himself towards mollie. so she came out and they had kisses goodbye aswell.

around 1am, i comforted him as he was helped to the bridge. :( i told him how much we love him and that maisie would be waiting for him. he could rest now. :(

i am devastated. :(:(:(

I really am so so sorry to hear that. Poor little Eddie :( Hope you're ok x
 
I really am so very sorry Eddie did not make it. Eddie had a fantastic life with you that was full of love and care. I am so sorry for your loss. Poor Mollie will be so upset too. My thoughts are with you. Remember, I am here if you ever need a shoulder to cry on. Xx
 
I am really sorry, you did everything you could, but sometimes we can't save them. You left no stone unturned and he had the best of care and the greatest life ever with you and Mollie. I know you are hurting bad, but you really are a credit to him. I am glad you got to be with him, he would have been comforted by you being there. Lots of love to you, if you need to talk we are all here for you x

Sleep well little boy
x x
 
I am so very sorry, you are such a fantastic mum and you should be proud of the wonderful life you gave him, thinking of you a this time xx
 
thank you everyone. feeling so heartbroken right now. ironic really that now i wish it was his teeth again.

and watching mollie spend 2-3 hours trying to wake him broke me even more. she had been encouraging him so much so i expected she would still try. but she nudged him, washed his face and ears, talked to him, and spend ages lying by his side. :( eventually she began to realise that he wasn't going to wake up and began to leave him alone. when she was ready, i took him away and spent some time cuddling him myself. :(

so gutted. it's not fair. he fought so hard but he was too tired. i had to help him. but it was one of the hardest things i've ever had to do. i managed to hold it together when with him though because he needed me. he wasn't in any pain but he was obviously shutting down. i feel so bad because i know he didn't want to leave mollie. :(

i can't believe this at all. :(:(:(
 
It is a huge shock for you. Reading Mollies reaction is heartbreaking. Poor little thing. She and you loved Eddie so much. I really am very sorry he was taken from you. Xx

i feel so sorry for her. just checked back and it was around april time she sadly lost her sister. then spent a few months alone before we adopted her. eddie had been waiting 5weeks at that point for a new friend so they were both so happy to have a friend again. i feel like they'd got into a good routine and both were happy, and then this happened. :(

he really was such a funny little piglet. he was our little baby of the family. i am missing him so so much. x

but knowing he is now with maisie brings me some comfort. she was like an auntie figure to him and he adored her too. x
 
irene said:
I can only imagine , it's amazing how they truly become part of the family and how you grow to love them so much

He sounds like he was such a joy to have! I know you will miss him terribly but will love another one not in the same Eddie way because they are all different but in a way special to the new one!

I know exactly how you feel, I was in the same position last week after we lost Diesel, I felt as though I was not honouring his memory by getting another piggie so quickly, but I had to be sensible for Buddy's sake. It was the right decision, my boys are chatting away through the bars and Buddy is a lot perkier with a companion.

You will never forget Eddie but you have plenty of love left for another piggie, I'm sure. Keep your chin up, you are doing great!

i remember worrying how i would love eddie after losing ches, and then loving mollie after losing maisie. but i always just do instantly. it's just that awful disloyal feeling and i feel so guilty. but then when you see the bereaved one get that spark back again, it's just such a lovely thing. i know he would want mollie to be happy again. it's just a horrible mix of emotions when you're grieving. x

I think we have more complicated emotions than our piggies, it's not that they don't grieve, they obviously do, but we tend to tie ourselves up in knots, where as If our pig gets a new friend they are just happy. I wish I could be a bit more like that, it would save a lot of heartache.

me too definitely. i'm so emotional and an over-thinker. they just seem to live in the moment don't they. x
 
I don't have the words to say how very sorry I am, I know you fought so very hard to keep him going. Run free at the bridge Eddie, enjoy running with all the other piggy angels. Sending you massive hugs x

They certainly do, I have had great fun watching Buddy and Herbie interact through the cage bars. They seem fascinated by each other and wheek at each other a fair bit.
