I'm sitting here crying my eyes out and sobbing, I lost lavender yesterday, her X ray showed her teeth were growing into her eye cavity and were much too far gone to do anything about which was the cause of the abcess that started it all off, so while under anesthetic ( they tried to do xray with out anesthetic as I asked but she struggled too much) they put her to sleep quitley and peacefully, I was sort of ok with that as I knew I had tried my hardest and deep down I Knew she was'nt going to make it and did'nt want her to suffer,
Bear had his leg removed yesterday and seemed to have a made a recovery from it, but at 11pm last night the nurse said he just passed away, they did not expect it and I was ready to go and pick him up today promising myself he was going to be one very spolit little man, until just now when Heidi the vet just phoned to break it to me, she herself is upset as well, he was a lovely pig and I am so gutted, I guess i feel he died over a bad foot and it does;nt feel right to me, he was only a year old, and a neck nuzzler, like all my rexes seem to be,
I have'nt cried like this over one of my pigs for so long he really got close to me this past 2 weeks while I have been treating him, I know I did the right thing but feel so guilty, but they were in pain and needed help
I dont blame the vets at all, Heidi was so upset and she kept me informed every step of the way and let me make the decisions with guidance,
who would want to do their job?
I'm picking them both up later to bury together in my garden and am buying a lavender bush to put on top, :'( :'(
