Never did we think that today would be the day we hoped would never arrive...

Last week the decision was made to have Muffin's lower incisor removed since another bout of inflammation was causing him discomfort. Last night we had a cuddle on the sofa, just the two of us. This morning started like any other, him stretching to be picked up from his bed and impatiently dancing around on my chest to be fed. He had a bath to charm all the female staff at the vet with his luscious locks...he was a hit with the ladies. Annoyed with mommy fussing, he climbed on my shoulder and galloped down the hallway for what would be the final time. The trip to the vet was like every other, running towards mommy to get away from the stethoscope, tickling his bum to check that his "brrrrrr" was still working. He was happy enough to be cuddled by the vet on our departure. Not once did it cross my mind that he would not make it.

The procedure went well, but during recovery he stopped breathing...

His arrival 5 years ago brought so much happiness into our home. His departure has left a void that will never be filled. You were and will always be mommy's big boy...

I'm so very sorry. It's the worst feeling ever. Especially when you don't see it coming. That is a long guinea life and you were such a good guinea mommy.
 
I'm so, so, sorry, there aren't words enough that seem worth saying that help :(:bye: RIP little piggie.
 
I am so sorry. It can happen occasionally; it's happened to piggies of mine in the past, especially older ones or younger ones with an undiscovered heart problem.

HUGS - It is always a tough one to cope with as it makes you doubt yourself and feel bad about it all, even when you know that you did the right thing! Take consolation that you did your utmost to give Muffin a happy and fulfilled life, and that he lived to a good age.

He will always hold a very special place in your heart and your memories.
 
So sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy

Sleep well little one

RIP Muffin
