Hey guys, I really need help. My baby, Buddy passed away at 2:07pm. He meant everything to me, he was doing so well and then just this morning he wasn't moving. He was still alive but wasn't eating, drinking and couldn't move. We tried syringe feeding but it would just run out of his mouth. Now he's gone and I just can't cope. He was my best friend and he's gone. Please help me! I can't cope. We had to get a new guinea pig for Coco and now it seems everyone's forgotten Buddy. I'm the only one who seems to remember him, everyone else is to in love with the new guinea pig to even remember my baby. I miss him so much and I can't stop thinking of the fact that he died in my arms. I'll never see his crest again, I'll never hear him squeak again, I'll never feel his soft fur again.

Please help me. I can't cope.
 
Oh.. I'm so sorry. The other people you refer to.... Are they friends or family? We all grieve differently. I'll be honest with you, whenever I have lost a guinea pig, I've been in contact with my rescue straight away to find a new companion for my remaining guinea pigs. This doesn't mean I've forgotten my lost ones.... All guinea pigs, are different and there is room in my heart for all.

I am going to find you a link to a pet bereavement service, as I think this will help you.

Thank you
 
I am ever so sorry for your loss! Losing a special piggy is very hard. Sadly once a guinea pig can no longer swallow, it is a dying piggy. :(

Take your time to grieve. The best thing you can do is to talk about it. All our members that have made use of the helpline have found it a very positive experience.
The other thing you can do is start a diary about your feelings, but also about all your memories of Buddy, the little and the big ones while they are still fresh in your mind. Write them down as they come to you. Over time you will hopefully find that there is a lot more of Buddy left than you'd expect - and by writing it down, it cannot be taken away from you!

@Veggies Galore has already given you the relevant links, which you may hopefully find helpful.
 
So sorry for your loss :'( I've always gone and got another to help me get over a loss. It's not that I am replacing them for me, but for the piggies left behind, doesn't mean i love the new one any less, or forget about my pass piggies. Hugs to you xx

I miss him too. What everyone keeps forgetting is that I’m the one that held him until his last breath. I’ve cried my self to sleep, I’ve cried hearing every song I listen to with him in his final minutes, I cry seeing pictures and videos. Nobody has forgotten Buddy. They might be excited about Mr Nugget but Buddy will always be remembered. I will cherish every memory I’ve ever had with him. Despite everything life threw at him, he was a fighter. He was my little warrior. From an injured paw to his series of strokes, he fought through everything. I’ll always remember my little one and regret not spending every minute I had with him. But for now I can only hope things are better for him. 🖤🌟
Rest in peace Buddy.B34C2758-EF9C-4776-9F12-61E21635CBF3.webp

I’m glad I spent so much time with him. I’m glad I got to say goodbye. I’m just sad he left too soon! 🖤🌟
