Adult Guinea Pig
This is honestly one of the hardest posts, and nothing could have prepared me for the loss of my little boy - Willy.
From the moment I first laid eyes on him, it was love. He was in a bad state - frightened and in pain, his eyes were so sad but hopeful. Starting off life with malnutrition, scurvy and paralysed back legs wasn't the best - and I knew there would probably be issues further on but he made up for it with his unconditional love.
Willy was always such a fighter, as soon as he realised there was some kindness in the world he blossomed and was honestly the most amazing guinea pig I have ever had the privilege of owning. He was kind, loving, relaxed and funny.. even in his final days he was his cheeky little self.
Rescuing him from bad conditions created a very strong bond between us. We would spend evenings together cuddling, hand feeding, grooming and having kisses. Throughout his life with me he has always been such a happy boy, a great huspig and a cuddle or kiss was never any trouble for him - he would never struggle or run away.
My baby was taken way too soon from this world, he deserved so much more but we did everything we could to make him comfortable and happy in his final days. Only the night before we had to say goodbye he was begging for his treat after his syringe feed.
I have a massive hole in my heart since saying goodbye to my little man. It will never be the same without him but I have peace of mind knowing that he is no longer in pain.
Rest in peace my beautiful boy.

You did everything you could and gave him the best chance.
