Thanks everyone. Mum and O aren't going to take the night feeds in turns so at least that'll help me out a bit tonight. :D

That is great - lack of sleep can really get to you after a couple of days and nights of round the clock care...

Such a sweet little face!
Me and the girls and cheering you on!:nod:
 
I'm on the 1am and 5am feeds and mums doing the 3am and 7am feeds. It's going to be a long night but hopefully it'll be worth it :)
 
Very sad news i'm afraid I had to have Rohan put to sleep today. I'm devastated and a complete emotional wreck at the moment. I feel so guilty and like I've let him down in some way.

He just wasn't getting any better, gasping to breath and was in obvious amounts of pain so I felt it was cruel to prolong any suffering. It's the most agonising decision I've ever made. Mum took him for me this lunch time. At least he's at peace now. We're going to let Paddy see he once mum gets back from the vets, so that he can grieve for him.

Then I'll have to find Paddy a new friend once he's grieved for Rohan. So any advice on how to go about doing that is always welcome. I feel so lost at the moment. Thanks for all your support x
 
Oh my goodness, I am so sorry about poor little Rohan.:(
However, you went above and beyond to make sure he had the best life possible,
It is not your fault in the slightest, you have most definitely not let him down at all.
I would leave paddy a little while before you introduce him to another friend to give him time to grieve, he will open up in his own time.
Putting a piggie to sleep is the hardest, but usually the best thing you can do for a piggie that is struggling like that...
Love and hugs to you and paddy.:hug:Xx
 
I am so sorry for your loss but it definately sounds like you made the right decision for him. I havent been around much lately and its a horrible shock to read this- Paddy and Rohan are 2 of the forum piggies that always stick in my mind!

Massive hugs xx
 
I'm so terribly sorry to hear this. I know it's an awfu decision to have to make but you have done the kindest thing for your little man. It shows just how much you love him.
Hugest hugs.
 
Thanks everyone, Paddy has seen him now. He sniffed him and made a little noise to him and licked his feet. We've burried him now.

Popcorn free my little angel, love you x
 
I'm so sorry to hear this, I really hoped he would get better, you made the right decision though- as tough as it is.Big hugs to you x
 
So sorry to hear about Rohan. I would have made the same decision I think. You really did your best to look after him.

Good luck with looking for a new friend for Paddy x
 
Thank you everyone, your thoughts and prayers mean a lot to me.

Paddy has been quiet all day and has been cuddling up to the owl teddy that we had in with Rohan in transit to the vets. I gave him extra cuddles and kisses tonight. It just seems so strange with only one piggy in the cage. I keep expecting Rohan to come down the ramp or dash out from one of the strawberries at any minute, but here's not there, it's so sad. :bye:
 
I'm so very , very sorry to hear your news . My thoughts are with you and Paddy Drezella :hug:
 
I'm so sorry you lost Rohan.
When you both feel the time is right I can thoroughly recommend piggy dating.
I took Panda dating in February, it was about 10 days after Pedro had died and Panda was a bit depressed. We arrived at the Rescue, and he could see, hear & smell the other piggies. His little nose came up and he got quite excited. It was a lovely thing to see after the heartbreak of loss.
