Tuesday was tough. I lost my Fruity.

Monday night I noticed Fruity was breathing strangely it was late so rang a vet and they suggested if he was still eating to keep an eye on him and take him down to see them Tuesday. I did, he was eating fine. Tuesday lunch time we went to the vet as that's the only time they could fit us in. Possible infection antibiotics and anti inflammatory, plus some supreme recovery if needed and back in a week or sooner if I think he needed to go.

Five or so hours later I picked my Fruit-Fruit up out the cage for his antibiotics. Obviously he didn't want them. His breathing seemed worse and he was gasping from his mouth. He was still nibbling on food. I rang the vet for the emergency number and called the out of hours. By 9:10 at night I was heading on an almost 30 minute drive to get him seen. She said she was concerned it was likely pneumonia and he may have to have oxygen therapy or maybe injections and be nursed at home. An X-ray later and it wasn't good at all. My heart broke. We could try and give him all kinds of antibiotics and therapies or we could let him go. The vet was wonderful and she was honest when I asked her opinion, she said eve with everything they could do she believed he wouldn't make it and rather than put him through it all it would be in his best interest for me to let him go. So I had cuddles and kisses as I decided that the best option despite all my urge and my breaking heart, was to stop the pain for him. It broke my heart having to bring my sleeping boy home. It breaks my heart still. I know I did the right thing by him to stop the pain but part of me wishes I had tried and still had him here as selfish as that is. I adopted him a year and a half ago and in that short time I fell completely in love. I still have Tootie but I miss my noisy bum face and his nibbles on my nose. Heart broken I couldn't save him

My last ever picture of him as we cuddled and I decided to do what was best. And I hope I did. I just want him to know I am sorry and I miss him so much.

So sorry for your loss. He was absolutely beautiful. I took a picture just like that one of Carmy on Tuesday as well. Huge hugs.
 
Hello. Wow what a very moving story and one I've read and shared a tear. Sorry hes gone very. But you did everything you could. at times we can't fix them and hell it hurts. He would have known you were their and right up to the end that's so important. In time you be very proud of that. To Fruity you are free pal skip play with others at Rainbow land. Piggy slave mum is upset that's cos she loves you soooo much. But she did you proud. x
 
Thank you. I know it's just hard especially when the year hasn't been the greatest. But thank you I know it will ease I think it's because it's raw and it's the first time I have had to make a decision like that.

I am so sorry for the loss of your gorgeous little piggy. You did all you could for your little one, it is so hard to make the decision to PTS but one we always make with their interests at heart and is the final act of love we can do for them. You were their when Fruity needed you the most. Huge hugs to you x

Sleep well gorgeous boy

RIP Fruity

RIP over the Bridge sweet Fruity.
