Unfortunately, Ella didn't make it. 😭😭

She definitely had ovarian cysts. What the vet didn't expect was her having a big mass of infection (or tumour, they can't say what it was) that was attached to her cervix, bladder wall and uterus. It was the size of probably a 2 inches meatball according to the vet. They managed to remove it but it took them quite a long time and Ella lost a lot of blood. The vet phoned us an hour after the operation and told us that Ella hasn't woken up yet and that she had erratic heartbeat. She said to expect the worse and they will phone us again when she hopefully wakes up. Around 15 minutes or so after that phone call, the vet phoned us again and said Ella's heart just stopped. 😭

We are so heartbroken. 💔 We didn't expect for her not to make it and bring her home in her forever sleep. She was gone too soon. We only had her for 10 weeks (she was adopted on 7th May).

When we adopted her, we were informed by RSPCA that she hasn't really gained a lot of weight the whole time she was with them. Their vet didn't think anything was wrong with her that time. This is probably the reason why she really wasn't gaining much weight. From the moment we adopted her up to now, she has gained around 100g with us. It was a slow weight gain though compared to Bryce, Vegas and the other piggies we had, considering she ate a lot all the time. They usually gained that weight in 3 weeks from getting them.

I've let Vegas and Bryce say their goodbyes to her. Vegas was sniffing her feet, neck and belly. Bryce was sniffing her as well. They were both quiet during the time they were saying their goodbyes. 😭💔

Popcorn free our little Ella. We, Vegas and Bryce will surely miss you a lot. We have enjoyed and loved every second of your very short life with us. ❤️❤️❤️

I’m so very sorry you have lost beautiful Ella. You gave her a wonderful 10 weeks. I’m sorry it wasn’t longer. Popcorn high at the bridge Ella. Take care. ❤️
 
Oh no! This wasn’t what I was expecting to see. I’m so sorry for your sad loss. Sending love. Sleep tight Ella x
 
Absolutely gutted to hear this - this is such sad news and so heart wrenching for you after doing everything you could and being all ready to look after her post-op. You’re dealing with shock as well as grief and that’s so hard. I’m really sorry. You gave her lots of love in the time you had her and you did all you could to give her the best possible chance of good health, but it sounds like she was really up against it with everything going on inside. Take care as you try to get your head round this really sad outcome x
 
Thank you all. ❤️

It was really a shock. She didn't even really showed any sign of illness, apart from the usual signs of ovarian cysts. She was even chasing Vegas and Bryce this morning and eating before we took her to the vets. If only we had a clue. I could've given her more kisses and cuddles, even though she hated cuddles. 😭💔
 
You gave Ella 10 weeks of happy todays and lots of love.
I am so sorry that the situation was worse than you anticipated and she didn’t make it.
Be gentle with yourself as you grieve for her.
Hugs :hug: :hug: :hug:
 
So sorry to hear of your sudden loss, sleep tight Beautiful Ella 🌈❤️
 
I’m so sorry you lost beautiful Ella, take heart you did everything you could have done. Although her life was not long lived, she had a wonderful life with you x
Sleep tight little lady 🌈
 
I’m so sad to learn you lost Ella. She was living her best life ever with you all. You did everything for her.
Popcorn free little Ella with all the lovely piggies at RB 😥
 
Thank you all for your messages. ❤️

It's bitter sweet to think that at least she wasn't suffering when she passed away, but looking like a healthy and happy piggy before her operation. I don't really know which one was a better scenario really, if we would prefer that (what happened) or to her showing us she's sick and suffering so we could've prepared beforehand of the outcome. 💔
 
So very sorry that you have lost your beautiful girl. Sending big hugs.

Sleep tight Ella. 💕🌈🐾
 
I'm so sorry to hear this after everything you've done and how brave she's been. You always give them such wonderful care 💕 and she sounds like she was a pretty tough little girl to be carrying on as normal with all that going on inside her. Take care of yourself x
 
So very sorry to hear this. Thinking of you all and sending love.
What a wonderful time Ella had with you

Sleep tight gorgeous girl 🌈💖
 
Oh @anyar.dris I’m so, so sorry to read this, heartbroken for you :( What a shock for you too :(
She was such a gorgeous little girl ❤️ You all deserved a lot longer together, it was such a short time she was with you but she was spoilt rotten and had a brilliant ten weeks with you and the piglets I’m sure :hug:Sending love and hugs to you all x
