I am so sorry - you did everything you could. It is always so upsetting and you are always left wondering whether there has been anything you could have done better. You wouldn't be a caring owner if you didn't!

BIG HUG

I am so so sorry, you definitely did everything you could for her. Sweet dreams Rogue.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure you did all you could, you took her to the vet as soon as she was showing symptoms and it sounds like you did the kindest thing for her in the circumstances.

You obviously loved her very much and looked after her really well, do try not to blame yourself too much. Hope Storm and Misty are doing ok.
 
Oh, dear. You've done everything right. So sorry for your loss. I would have done everything exactly the same in your position.
 
have you put her body in with her sisters so they can understand where she has gone so its closure for them too? ! x

Ok here we go ...

Got a call from lovely vet this morning. He said that he had given her strong painkillers but she was still vibrating as she had been, dribbling and refusing food or water. I think they syringe fed her some rescue remedy and tried tempting her but to no interest. He said that she was huddled up in her cosy and looked depressed.

We could operate but she was getting weaker and was unlikely to come through, esp as they didn't know what it was. They did an aspiration biopsy thing but wouldn't get results for a day or two.

Asked him what was best for Rogue, not us, and he said that they could operate but it meant putting her body through stress and it was unlikely to work. So we opted to have her pts on two vets' opinions. Most horrible, horrible decision, did it for her not us.

They waited until we were there. It broke my heart to see her, she was hunched in the cosy and just looked broken, like she had given up. Even though she had had painkillers she looked uncomfortable and just gone really.

I held her and she snuggled into her normal position and wanted comfort. So did I, that broke my heart.

I can't believe that she has gone. We have her physically here and got pet cremation picking her up - this may sound silly but can;t bear to bury her here as we are in a rented house - I don't want to leave her.

Storm and Misty (sisters) look ok but a bit subdued. They won't blame us for her disappearing will they? Will they be ok as a pair? They are not cuddly guineas with each other.

Don't know what to do with myself now. If you want to see her have a look at stories and photos section - funnily enough I took them two days ago.

Keep going over what happened - feel as if I should have done more, but no lump was visible to eye or touch, took her to vet as soon as she changed. Please reassure me!

Lots of love to all guineas and piggle owners x

So very sorry for your loss, when my girls have gone to the bridge they have been cremated and then brought home. We also live in rented accomadation I couldn't bear for them to be left behind and not be with us. It might seem a strange idea but when they have come home after making that final journey I always feel better, I just think that although they might not be alive they are still with me - if that makes sense. Sending hugs and love.xx
 
Oh I'm so sorry to hear you had to make this hard decision8...

As everyone else says try not to beat yourself up, there was literally nothing different you could have done for her.

Take comfort in her sisters at this sad time xxxxx

Yes, they knew something was up and decided was right for them to say goodbye. They have settled down a bit now and are wheeking for treats again! They have had so much fuss today and extra treats. They are not cuddly with each other usually but today wherever Storm goes, Misty follows and vice versa. They are wanting to be cuddled again which is nice because at first they were running away which was unusual and upsetting. They are prompting fuss and then snuffling and licking. Bless them.
