my beautiful Blossom passed away suddenly today at the vets. she was mom to Chas, lily, Hazel and Rex who had been born due to inbreeding and back to back pregnancies. Blossom had a prolapse 13 days after giving birth to her babies who would have been 1 year old on 15th march this year. the only remaining baby now is Nutmeg. Blossom survived the operation for the prolapse and has been healthy ever since - as far as i was aware. today i noticed that she had suddenly developed a strange clicking noise as she breathed in and her breathing seemed somehow 'jerky'. we went straight to the vets who wanted to do an x-ray to see if there was any signs of fluid on her lungs. she was a good girl and lay still for the x-ray but sadly as the vet finished she took one last breathe and passed away.
it came as such a shock and poor Nutmeg seems to be taking it quite badly. i honestly believe that all these deaths have been caused through the amount of pregnancies and in-breeding that has gone on with Blossom before i took her in.

i'm so sorry Blossom that you never had a long life. had you been with me from a baby maybe things would have been different. you were a beautiful girl with such dark, intense eyes. i will miss you dearly, but for now, stay with your babies and look after them as you did when they were here. play and run free at rainbow bridge where no harm can ever come to any of you. give your babies a big kiss from me. i love you all dearly and i'll never forget you. RIP little girl, sleep tight x
 
Oh Sally, I am so sorry. Poor little Blossom, I am glad she found the love she deserved with you. Lots of love to little Nutmeg and hugs to you at this sad time.

Sleep well beautiful Blossom.

RIP Blossom

Oh no! This is so sad and unfair. I am sure you are right about the reason poor Blossom and her babies havee passed. You must be so upset. I really am so very sorry. Poor Nutmeg too.
 
So sorry to hear about this Sally, our thoughts are with you and wheeks from our crew to little Nutmeg. Popcorn over the bridge and run free Blossom.
 
oh how sad is this, I am so very sorry for your loss, rip blossom, sleep well gorgeous girl x
 
I am very sorry that Blossom didn't have more time to enjoy your love and care and went to join her other babies.
My thoughts to Nutmeg! I hope that you can find her a new friend of her liking. It will be hard for her without her mum!
 
Nutmeg was left in a huge 8' hutch all by herself and she was very lonely, so this morning i've divided the hutch into two with a mesh panel and Harry and Angel are now next to Nutmeg. the plan is that when Angel leaves me to go to Rainbow Bridge, Harry can then move in with Nutmeg. Angel has lasted so much longer than the vet anticipated but i know that she won't be long before she leaves me now. Nutmeg seems happy with this arrangement and is giving Harry piggy kisses through the mesh as i type. hopefully she will settle down now after loosing her Mom yesterday.
this is Blossom on the left with Nutmeg next to her, then Lily and Hazel - RIP my beautiful girls

Beautiful Blossom, can't believe how tough you have had it. Hope little Nutmeg is okay, lots of love to Angel too, what a fighter she is. Big hugs Sally x

i suppose it is bound to happen at times when you take in neglected piggies but it doesn't make it any easier. at least i gave them all some life even if it has not been for very long.

It is never easy but without you these little ones would never have known love, so you should be very proud of everything you have done and continue to do. I am so sorry, hoping Nutmeg feels a little happier next to her new friends. x
 
Goodnight beautiful Blossom, rest in peace over the bridge x
 
so sad, I am really sorry. RIP little piggie, together for ever now xx
 
thankfully after the sad and sudden passing of Blossom, Nutmeg, her only surviving baby (she's 14 months old now) has fully accepted Harry and Angel. the three are living together at the moment but i do think that Angel will be joining Blossom within the next couple of days:( so Harry and Nutmeg will stay with each other for company then. this is angel's thread in case some of you do not know about her:
