Dear all,

I just want to share with you my story about my baby, Big BB, who sadly passed away yesterday. BB is 4 1/2 years old and was diagnosed with ovarian cysts. She was admitted yesterday and both the surgery and recovery took longer than expected. As the anesthetic slowly wore off, she opened her eyes, took a big gasp of air, which caused her lungs to collapse and at the end, she didn't make it.

I am living in extreme guilt as I should have chosen hormone injection treatment for her instead. I didn't do the research and very judgemental, believing surgery would be successful as her cage mate has had it done successfully in the past. I wish for everyone here not to follow the same mistake as I had made as I do not wish for anyone to be suffering from this unbearable pain that I'm going through.

I am so sorry BB - I miss you so, so much...
 
So sorry for your loss, sometimes the decisions we make may turn out to be the wrong ones in our eyes, and we learn valuable lessons as we take on these wonderful little creatures, you did what you thought was best at that time and the outcome could have been very different, so don't beat yourself up about it. I think it makes us more knowledgeable as owners, and when faced with problems in the future, we can look at different options. RIP little sweetheart Mummy will miss you.x>>:rose
 
so sorry for your loss
it was not your fault you done what you thought was best
guinea pigs dont tolerate injections very well so i would have chosen to go for the surgery myself
we lost one of our male piggies 2 weeks ago after a neuter op and i cried for the first 2 days and hardly slept as i blamed myself so much so i can sympathise with your guilt there
we still miss hi greatlt but the guilt has eased thanks to the to lovely people on here
please dont blame yourself, sometimes these things happen and nature can be cruel but on the other hand nature has ways of dealing with things that are out of us humans control
RIP bb
 
All we can do is to make the best decision we can with the information available to us. You gave her a good life and got her vetinary care when she needed it, and your decision wasn't wrong - its simply that she may not have been a very well GP.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Sometimes, when making medical decisions for our pets, there is no one 'right' answer. It's so easy to beat ourselves up when things don't go well. Ultimately, you did everything you could when she was ill, and you gave her a good life and lots of love and she was very lucky in that regard. ((HUGS)).
