Today, i lost poor sweep i dont no why and how, she just passed away. Only a couple of weeks ago i lost biscuit's baby because it was born 2 big and was
broke down in the womb.
before this in sepetember i lost coco to pnemonia. and i feel i dont no...strange now.
i feel like i let all my piggies down, and they arent safe with me as an owner.
my dad told me it was their time. but I'm just so confused.
i walked in tonight, without a small popcorn of high pictched sweep with the pitter patter paws on the woodshavings as they ran
from my hand. though when i seen them all cuddled up i remeber when theres was Coco there
and it made me cry so hard. then seeing mummy and sooty together with no sweep. made me burst into a flood of tears (which is still going now)
my dad said me can get a new guinea pig, but all i want is sweep. All the piggies look up at me, and i feel like i am a bad piggy parent to them.
i just dont get it. a little voice inside my head is telling me "to give it up, you cant look after them, this is the 3rd one thats died within a year
just put them for rehoming on the forum"
and another voices is telling me "no it will get better, it was just sweep was ill. They'll be fine."
my head hurts so much.
i need help soon, I'm so confused. i just want to run and dig up sweep and hug her and hope she'll open her eyes and start popcoring at me.


:'( from natnat :'(
 
it seems a lot of us are losing our piggies at the mo and have no idea why
:(
 
I'm so sorry that happened to you, and feeling this way just ensures that you are a great piggy parent. When I first read your posts I didn't realize that you were a child, then I found out because I read it somewhere else. Sometimes there are freak accidents that happen, and we can't do anything about it. I don't think you should give up, as you truly love and care for them, which is exactly what a great piggy parent does. I understand that what you're going through is tough, but you and your piggies will get through it, and they're going to have the best lives they could ever ask for.

Yeah, agree with Shaz that a lot of people are at the moment Natalie, and it never makes anyone a bad piggy parent. It just happens and sometimes it is just beyond your control.

Just let out all your grief - things will pick up :)

sometimes some of us just seem to lose a few at a time and have no idea why,and it totally sucks
it makes us feel like we arent doing things right ,keep your chin up and love those you have left ;)
 
Hi,
i do feel for you, but keep your chin up.

It's so obvious they are well loved and looked after. It's so hard to loose one pet let alone 3 in such a short time.

Take care

its just a rotton side of having animals & loving them to peices , they cant tell us whats wrong like a child or adult can , i too have lost a few in the past year & it makes you sad, , its what stopped me keeping piggies a couple years ago , but there all more ups than downs & you remember the good as well as the bad , keep the good stuff close to youre heart , i have a bench the kids bought me for xmas that will go in the garden in a specail place with all there names on a plaqu & some specail plants :)
 
i just cant stop crying over poor sweep :'( a mate called me pathetic, no one seems to understand how pets are as equal as people (well except people with pets)
some kids just have a pet and when it dies go and replace it like a broken toy. i no this will seem strange, but i talk to pictures of coco...no joke.
i used to talk 2 her when she was alive and i still do it now. and all i keep thinking of is little sweep closed in in that box about to have ground and snow chucked on top of her. i just keep thinking of it. its horirble. my mind is going across what to say or the advetising new homes for my piggies. and i cant stop it. i keep thinknig
i'm not doing something right, they need a new home, where they can be looked after, and not die so young. and i cant stop the voice inside me telling me it
and its driving me mad, I'm in tears from it!
 
Something happened to her, but it's not your fault. I don't see how anybody could replace a pet like a broken toy, and the fact that anybody would call you pathetic shows serious mental problems. You're a wonderful piggy parent and nobody will ever be able to say otherwise. I don't see how anybody will be able to give them a better home than they have now, but it's obviously your decision. But please think about it before you go through with it, because you very well may regret it.

Just calm down, take a few deep breaths and relax.

You have the other piggies to take care of too,all of this feeling will make them unstable too. They know your fears. Talk to the piggies and let it all out. Piggies will always be there for you and will listen :)

Maybe this is a sign that you need to take a break for a while - where it comes to taking on new piggies. Use this time to get to know them all individually and also the time on doing some research on common illnesses. It's a lot for someone of your age, but I know that you can do it :)
 
If all of the other ones are healthy then I don't believe there will be any more piggy problems. I agree full-heartidly with Michelle, that you shouldn't take any more on, but should take this time to get to know them all individually and give them extra love. You can talk to them and they'll listen. You are young, but you can do it, as you're one of the most grown-up youngsters I've ever known!

I'm Kelly love! ;)
 
I feel like a dunce :D. I just quoted Michelle somewhere else, and I was meaning to type Kelly. Even when I read back over it I read Kelly. Oh goodness, I can be quite absent minded! Sorry bout that!

Kimmie
 
I'm so sory for you! Before i got wilson all my animals died... for no aparent reason...
my guinea pig, my budgie, my dog, my bunny... its so sad and i felt like as much as i tried to care for them and love them it wasnt good enough and that i was just killing them and causing them suffering... but now i know it will get better... i think of them everyday and they are forver in my heart! It will all get better :D chin up lol.

Good luck! Bye
 
sweetie you have gone through a lot recently my turn was late last year when I lost 5 of my babys within a few weeks 2 from same run 2 days running I was a wreck but had to keep going for the rest who depend on me like your do, last year I also lost one of my beloved dogs Charlie and around 10 pigs so it was a bad year for me BUT this year have had 2 births resulting in Ava Edie and Henry thats how things go with animals, and its nature, nothing we can ever do about it,we just learn to cope with it, I'm 46 next month and I still find it hard so wont pretend it gets better with age/time, its the only drawback from owning such precious little animals, but you need to draw a big breath and chill as already said take time to get to know your remaining pigs and spoil them rotten they've lost a friend as well , tkae no damn notice of so called friends they dont have a heart and have'nt been brought up to to respect animals and in my opinion their opinion counts for nothing zero zilch, everyone here knows you are feeling so bad as we have all done so , I'm dreading losing Charlies brother Max hes 14 now and I know with no dogs in the house i will feel majorly depressed , so it does happen to us all we just know how you feel unlike others, chin up sweetie ;)
 
so sorry nat nat :'( its not your fault things happen in life that are out of our control and we do seem to blame ourselfs its just a way of greiving, but nothing you did was wrong and your piggies look lovely and well cared for. Just keep your chin up and try not to blame yourself :)
 
Oh I know all about this. Towards the end of 2005 something went round my shed and killed all my piggies except 3. I lost around 40 pigs in the space of 3 weeks. I was devastated but knew it wasn't anything I'd done, just some freak occurrence. I got some more pigs after a couple of month when I was sure that whatever it was had killed my other pigs had gone. I still have Matti, my old boar who survived it and he's still doing well.
Don't give up on the pigs, you're not a bad owner, these things happen to all of us. Unfortunately piggies don't live forever and only so many actually live to and die of old age.

Hunny, I know how you feel, i lost one gerbil, one rabbit and four guinea pigs in one week and i felt like i wanted to die and rehome my aniamlsm but today seeing them binky and pop corn about, i know i would of hated my self for giving them up!
 
Try not to get too much more upset Natnat. As everyone else has said, it just happens like that sometimes, it's really tough. You're doing a great job with your guineas, concentrate with what you have and let yourself get over it all.

It is very upsetting when they die, especially if they're young. The way I try to think of it is, in my experience, when one dies the others just get on with life, they don't seem to pine. It's different if there's one left on it's own. I've had to harden my heart a bit to it. I still get very upset when one dies but just think of the wonderful life you've given them.
