I just wanted to say how much I loved these two boys. They were both four years old and as I have had quinea pigs for many years did not think of them as old. Pippin was my little favourite, I know I shouldn't but he was so sweet to look at and cuddle. Cocoa was more timid and when Pippin died first four weeks ago from a URI, Cocoa seemed to lose his appetite and died so suddenly I couldn't believe it. I still have their gigantic cage in the hall and it hurts not to see them calling for food and all the other noises they make. My vet was an exotic pet specialist and did what he could for Pippin. We even syringe fed him for 10 days and nights, you try everything.. they both had to be pts They were both lovely abyssinians, one grey and cream and the other brown, Bye little ones, no more suffering. But I wish I could stop crying.

I'm so sorry for your loss of your fur babies Pippen and Cocoa.
Remember all the wonderful times you had with them and look at all your pictures of them.
I'm going through this right now to, two weeks ago I lost my best friend and best dog of 12 years to old age her name was Apryl and I miss her so much right now, I'm still crying but I know she's no longer in pain.
 
HUGS! I am so sorry that you have lost both boys so close to each other. There is nothing more you could have done, but it really whacks you hard!

I have lost one of my piggies, a four year old like yours, very quickly at the beginning of this year for no obvious reason; she just packed in - and exactly a week later I lost a three year old in an emergency operation due to an irregular heartbeat. Neither death was expected, so it came as a huge shock.

Popcorn together at the Rainbow Bridge, Pippin and Cocoa!
 
I am so sorry for the loss of both your piggies. They knew love during their time with you and you obviously cherished them. Massive hugs x

Sleep well little ones

RIP Pippin & Cocoa

Poor little mites. Its heart-breaking to lose a dear little piggie friend. I'm so sorry for your loss.
 
Take heart you piggies had a good life and were clearly loved, no one knows how long any of us have I lost my piggy before his first birthday , and my buddy dog Salem two years ago now and I still cry. Rip little piggies. My thoughts are with you lotsaluv and hugs and wheeks from my boys xx
 
Thanks to all you very kind people. You really do understand unlike well meaning people who say 'Ah, you can get another one. It's not like losing a dog or cat'. Still it hits you just as hard.
 
The loss of any animal is heart wrenching... In the last three months, I've lost my dear Cinnamon Roll (she was only three months) to a URI, and then Abby, who was ill when we got her, but tried our best to give her every chance at a loving, full, happy life. Lost her before we had been together a month. It doesn't take away the sadness and deep loss of not having them with you anymore, but I can say that having other piggies in our family has helped give me a place to direct my love & hugs and snuggles which does help, even if just a little, to ease the pain of knowing they are gone.

Love, light @ prayers to you & I hope you will open your home and heart up to another piggie or two, as it's obvious that you too have tons of love to give!

*HUGS*

-Amy & my piggies; Lovie, Mocaccino & Gus.

I'm so sorry, I know how awful you feel, especially when it is an unexpected shock.
