i have previously been on here as gembob, but for some reason today of all days i cant get on her, so ive had to re-register! i woke up this mornin sorted out the kids, then went to take veggies out to the piggies, and drizzle ran out and started scoffin the lot, but punky just stood in the doorway. i went up to him and he just curled up underneath the stairs. i knew something was the matter and got him into the vets within twenty minutes, and by the time i got there he was even worse, he had lost the use of his legs, was lying on his side and was convulsing i think, like he was running. i just dont understand it, the vet put him to sleep, but i dont think he even knew where he was, and he had a faint heartbeat by the time she came to put him to sleep. i held him and said goodbye. i must have done something wrong, i dont understand it. i never went out yesterday because the weather was awfull, what if he was suffering all night? i cant forgive myself. he was a cheeky terror, always chewing on my hair when i cleaned him out! r.i.p punky, i love you so much and i will never forget you! I'm sorry gemmaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx8...8...8...8...8...8...8...
 
Oh I'm so sorry for your loss. Such a shame there was nothing else you could do. He sounds like a lovely piggy.
RIP Punky.
 
I'm so very sorry for your loss. It's very possible that you never did anything wrong and that it was just his time... It doesn't sound fair, but sometimes, that's the only explanation.

RIP little Punky... run free at the bridge!
 
awwwwww love I'm so sorry, I'm sat here crying for you, as i lost two boys in the last two months and i really know how you feel.

I'm pretty sure you didnt do anything wrong.....it sounds to me like they were loved, and you got him to the vets asap so you are obv a good mummy.

Dont be too hard on yourself hon, if i have learned anything these last two months it is that you get them, you do your best, you love them to death and then they are gone, they go when they are ready.

Cry and cry some more, you will get there i promise you, isnt it great loving our babies so much?

Be strong and remember the good things x>>
 
thats terrible. I'm so sorry for your loss.
idk wut i would do if that happen to one of my piggies....
how many pigs do you have?
 
It sounds very much like Punky had a heart attack or a stroke - nothing you can do to keep it from happening or to save him during it. You did what you could; you saw the vet asap.

The running motion you saw is typical for the fits a dying guinea pig can have - by that time, Punky would have been pretty much out of it. AP used to call it "running over the Rainbow Bridge".

I have just lost a piggy to heart failure during a vet visit and know how shocking a sudden, unexpected death is. It has taken me several days to try and make sense of what happened.

You automatically look for the fault in yourself and any lack of care because you are such a responsible owner. But in your case, there just isn't anything you can blame yourself for - guinea pigs can die from strokes and heart problems same as humans, and they strike without warning, too.

Punky must have known how much you love and care for him.

BIG HUG
 
I'm so sorry. What a terrible shock for you. Please don't blame yourself.

Goodnight little Punky. :rose
 
I am sorry for your loss. It is so sad. BIG hugs to you. I agree it sounds like a heart attack or a stroke.

What a shock for you, don't beat yourself up about it, these little guys sometimes can go with heart attacks so quickly :( At least he knew love and happy days with you and his mate xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
