Junior Guinea Pig
My cheeky 9 month old piggy passed away yesterday from heatstroke. Me and my partner drove from Birmingham to Sheffield (about 2 hours) and it was just too hot. We tried to keep the pigs as comfertable as possible, my partner was sat in the back with them, and was constantly checking on them and giving them water/veg to keep them hydrated. But when we got them out at the other end Luna was in a really bad state, and there was nothing we could do (she passed whilst I was on the phone to the vet about to get back into the car with her).
I feel awful for doing this drive with them on such a hot day and I feel like such a bad piggy mum for not postponing it until it was cooler. My 3 other babies are all fine, but obviously upset and missing Luna as much as I am.
She was such a happy pig, right up until her last day, and always enjoyed life, I just wish she got to enjoy it a bit longer.
