Adult Guinea Pig
I am so sorry to let everyone know that Fanny Adams took a final trip to see Auntie Louise the vet she got to know so well yesterday.
Over the past week she has been very poorly and Louise and I concurred her kidneys were in failure and the kindest thing to do would be to let her go.
Fanny was one of our sponsor piggies she arrived last May in appauling condition with another sow Craddock who sadly died shortly after arrival.
Fanny on arrival
Fanny was an amazing piggy she was 600g with very bad bladder sludge and a dreadful infection in her womb beut was still bright and eating with anitbiotics and a cystotomy she made a great improvement but constantly needed extra fluid, a managed diet, and regular antibiotics to keep the infection at bay. Sadly the range of antibiotics we used never managed to totally wipe out the problem as peniciliin would have been the most effective but you cannot use this with guineas.
She managed to rally put on weight and was the most wonderful character she was my most expensive long termer her care whilst here totalled over £700 but each penny was more than worth it.
Here she is on the grass with her friend Splodge after she had recovered from her cystotomy. 860g and having a fab time.
Fanny will be sorely missed and was loved by many a popular demander of chin rubs where ever she went. Always tolerant and cheeky during daily fluid syringing cheekily munching on syringes. I will miss her dreadfully but am so happy she could spend her last ten months with us indoors being spoilt rotten.
Piggys like Fanny Adams are why the sponsor schemes exists to support their care as they cannot be re-homed without the support of the forum members here and those who sponsored her from elsewhere it would have been much more of a struggle for me to meet her medical costs and give her what she deserved after she had been neglected so badly. A heartfelt thankyou to all of you who supported her I know she appreciated it and so did I.
We are devastated here and extend a huge hug to anyone else who feels the sadness of Fannys passing I know she was a special girl who touched many hearts.
