Teenage Guinea Pig
Hi everyone. Long time no talk. Its a sad day in my household. I hate to say it but I dont think Lillith has much time left with me Shes a verryyyy sick piggie and I'm afraid its too late for her. I was just wondering what I can do to help make her last bit of time with me as comfortable as possible?
I'm not even too sure what happened. One day she was perfectly fine, and then today when I went to give the carrots she wouldn't even come out of her hut. She has been losing hair a bit but I just figured she's old! I feel like a fool now. I should have taken her to a vet.
Anyways. Shes an old girl, probably 6 years old now. I've had her for 3. She doesnt like being moved AT ALL. Its almost like she is in pain. When she does move, she has serious issues doing so. She also random twitches which leads me to believe she had a stroke or something neurological has happened.. All the spark is gone from her eyes. I dont want to leave her in the cage because she shivers violently. I have her wrapped up in two towels on my chest and I'm keeping her warm for now. Is there ANYTHING else at all I can do other than wait for the inevitable?
*Also, when she was in the cage, the other two girlies(Rusty and Allie) would come over to her and check up on her, give her piggie kisses, and try to sit with her. This is heartbreaking. Should I be holding them too with her to say goodbye? I just want to know if I can do anything more to make her last bit of time more comfortable.
