Like everyone else I had hoped to see Jerry back with you, I'm so sorry that he had to leave.

Just seen this thread and I'm gutted for you. It's so hard when they decide to go the Bridge. Sending lots of hugs xxxxx
 
Very sorry for your loss. You did everything you could for him.
 
oh what a gorgeously handsome piggy, he looked a little sweetheart ^) i'm sat here with my two girls & tears trickling down my face - after reading your post & watching his movie - by the looks of it even the cat loved him. special piggy.

sounds like he had so much TLC -no piggy could have asked for more.
hugs to you & Ben. Popcorn in peace little Jerry. x
 
I am very sorry that Jerry hasn't made it. You and Simon have given him every chance; that is all you can do. It doesn't diminish your anguish, though!

RIP Jerry
 
I am so sorry Jerry didn't make it.

What a special boy he was and a wonderful lady you are.

RIP little one xxxxx
 
Sorry to hear it was Jerry's time to go. Although it hurts, he has saved you the agony of making that decision for him. He knew he was loved and you have done everything you could for him. Hugs from us all. x
 
O this made me cry, you made a tough decision (I would have done exactly the same) Really hope the pain moves on, the other millions of guinea pigs (rabbits/cats/fish!) need you to be as lovely as you are and they'd all be lucky to have you in their corner. x
 
Oh Debbie, I am so, so sorry to hear that Jerry didn't make it. You did everything you could and gave him a fighting chance xx
Huge hugs to you & Ben xxxxxxxxxxx
Sleep well special little man, it was a pleasure to meet you xxxxxxxxxx
 
Oh Debbie I'm so sorry to hear Jerry didn't make it. You certainly gave him the best care and chance in life.
Your Jerry and my Gerry (who looks just like him) can keep each other company at the Bridge as I sadly lost my Gerry today as well.

I am so sorry you have lost your Gerry too! I really think Jerry and Gerry will be having a ball right now, and causing mayhem at Rainbow Bridge!
 
I am so so sorry Debbie, he was such a special boy. I just watched the video and i was holding back the tears then the lil puddy cat came along and seeing how they were with each other just tipped me over the edge, and i am at work and the phone rang which i had to answer. then had to explain why i was upset!

Big hugs Debbie. xxxxx

Run free and have lots of fun Jerry.

I am so sorry Katiepops to hear about your Gerry. What a sad day.

xxxxx

Priya is guardian of the Sanctuary piggies. She is so lovely with them. Obviously I would never leave her alone with access to them, as she is a cat and has cat instincts, but she really seems to realise they are part of the family and so special.
 
Well she is gorgeous Debbie, and i am sure she does know how special the are to you.

xx
 
I'm so sorry to hear about this, was so hoping Jerry would come through. Sad day...
 
I'm so sorry Debbie. I'm genuinely gutted for you. You've fought so hard for Jerry and he'll always be grateful. I'm sure he'll be up at the bridge chilling with Archie, Patch and all the others, looking down saying 'thanks mummy Debbie, don't be sad, I'm having a blast up here." I know you'll miss him like mad and Ben will too.

Big hugs to you and chin scruffles for Ben x
 
So sorry Debbie, I cant watch the video....perhaps another day. You and Simon did all that you could and at the end of the day we are only human and we can just do our very best. x
 
I was so upset when i got your text this morning Debbie.....I am so so sorry that he didnt make it, but you gave him a chance and thats all you could do. Without your dedication and hard work with him over the last year, he probably would have gone sooner.....You did your utmost to give him the quality of life that he deserved. Between you and his previous owner, you both made the right choices all through his life.

RIP Jerry, run free and fill your face with all that lovely green grass at the bridge.

Katiepops I am also saddened to read about your loss....two namesake piggies at the bridge...x
 
I'm so sorry Jerry didn't make it...if love kept our furry friends going, they'd be here eternally.
Run free little man, play safe at The Bridge with the other special piggies x>>
So very sad :(
 
I'm so sorry about Jerry.
You gave him chances that nobody else would give him. You worked so hard to keep him happy and he loved you because you did. I know you would have gone to the end of the world and back for him.
He wont forget everything you've done for him.
RIP Jerry
Popcorn free little one.
xx
 
I am so so sorry Debbie. You are such a dedicated person to all these beautiful creatures that I feel he was a very fortunate piggy indeed to have known such care & love in his short life, you did more than most could in the same situation. Huge ((hugs)) for you xx

Jerry didn't develop dental issues until later in life, so he was actually about 4 1/2 when he passed away. He has left a massive gap in my life, but I know I did everything I could for him. I am also very aware that even if he had got through the op on Thursday, he would still have had a lot of problems, and no guarantees that he would've been any better than he was. I don't regret giving it a go though and through the care and treatment of Jerry lots more knowledge has been gained. Not so long ago dental issues were, in most cases, a death sentence for piggies, but more and more are living a fantastic life despite a dental problem now, and so many more are now being completely cured.

Dealing with these little guys is an emotional rollercoaster, but would I do it all again? Yes of course I would!
