Guinea pig bucket list

[Eriathwen]

So, for those who don't follow my picture thread, my little 4 year old girl Daisy has terminal cancer and is suspected to have months at most, if it doesn't spread further and begin to effect her organs.
I'm putting together a little bucket list of things to do for her in the next few months to make her remaining time full of fun and happiness.

Most importantly I want to get her out onto the lawn in the sun as much as possible.

I'm going to have her make some artwork and footprints and take lots of pictures but those are mostly for me

Shes of course going to be getting lots of her favourite foods now that long term issues are no longer a problem (within reason!)

What would you do for your piggies? I'm running low on ideas for her, which is frustrating because she deserves the best.

Aw beautiful Daisy, I hope she stays with you for many months to enjoy her bucket list.
I don't think this is quite what you meant but my pig Miffy has had a massive cancer removed and unknown what will happen next. My gift to her is loxicom twice a day Vet said this would reduce the inflammation caused by any new tumours, as well as manage pain.

I hope you have many more happy months with Daisy. You can spoil her rotten and give her lots of cuddles. Take everyday as a bonus and try not to think too far into the future, just enjoy her company x

Loads of love and just spoil her rotten.
Take loads of video
I did when my piggy George was living in borrowed time. I have cute footage of him just munching on his fav foods and sleeping on my knee/ watching telly.
Sending hugs.xx

I am sure that her bucket list will involve food, forage, food, fleecey items, food and more food. I hope that she will be with you for some time yet to come, making beautiful memories. Hugs x

A bucket list is a lovely idea Make sure to take lots of beautiful pictures. If I was you I'd try my best to live like Daisy does- live in the moment and enjoy each day as it comes xx

This could be a nice treat. My piggies like this. Celebration of life.

I gave Jemimah lots of extra treats and sneaked her some of her favourites like carrot or apple.
When she only months to live and was losing weight it didn’t matter.
Holding you in my heart

Thanks guys! Seems most of them will definitely be food related! She doesn't seem to be in pain from the tumours yet, although having just had surgery she is on pain medication for that, but I have a 100ml bottle of it so she will be getting some if she does need it, bless her.

She seems so well in herself, its hard to believe she has such a short time left.

Aww beautiful Daisy. A bucket list sounds amazing. I’m sure she will love whatever time she has left with lots of yummy foods and treats and cuddles and lap time with you.
I wish for many months of pain free happy living for you both. Much love

I’m so sorry beautiful Daisy has had that diagnosis, massive hugs and lots of love from us lot ❤
When my Jess got her kidney diagnosis last year and it was palliative care for her she pretty much got whatever she wanted! A couple of months of loads of tasty grub, loads of floortime with her buds and stacks of cuddles as she loved them!
One thing I wish I had done is taken lots more videos as @rhymer says, got loads of pics but I do miss watching her funny little ways now she’s gone!
Hope you and Daisy have lots more lovely time together and the sun comes out soon so she can out on the grass! xx

I am so sorry to hear this news about Daisy.
If you have access to the countryside you could add "trying new forage foods" to her bucket list and see how many different safe plants and leaves you can find for her to try and maybe make little videos of her trying them out.

It wasn’t until her last week that Jemimah showed any sign of discomfort and was promptly put on Loxicom.
Hopefully Daisy will remain pain free too.

I hope she continues to do well! It's sweet to make a bucket list to ensure that she does all the things she loves. I know for mine, food is a huge thing! Both of our pigs right now I am trying to make the most of all the things they like... there is nothing serious wrong with Hadley except age (she is over 6.5 years old now.) Leela has an enlarged kidney that is either polycystic kidney disease or a tumor of some kind... the testing to get it further assessed is really expensive here and the surgical options are not really there, so its' a matter of quality of life for her (knock on wood, so far she seems fine... she was diagnosed in early January.) But I want both of them to have the best possible days for as long as we have them, so I totally feel for you and Daisy here!
