My baby, Pooky (3 yrs 10 months old) just passed away an hour ago. I don't know what to do. I don't know how to grieve. Can't stop crying. Also I'm currently in another country while he was with my parents in my home country. So I wasn't even there. I never got to say goodbye.
His cagemate, Hoshi apparently cried with Pooky while he was passing.. this happened at 2am over there and there were no emergency vets available. According to my mum Hoshi is "ok" right now but she's going to give him love and attention and monitor his eating and drinking.
I don't even know what I'm typing..my mind is blank.
Pooky was the first baby of all 6 of my piggy babies. He's the first baby I ever held. He was the lil explorer. He was the lil boy who loved going around everywhere. We're all used to seeing his lil feet excitedly running EVERYWHERE. He was the most curious piggy ever.
I HATE that I wasn't there. I'm so sorry Pooky. I'm so sorry I wasn't there to tell you how much I love you and will always love you. My lil Indiana Jones.
I've never dealt with the loss of a pet and I don't know if I'm overreacting but everything hurts. It happened too suddenly. It still hasn't sunk in fully.

I love you SO SO much Pooky baby.. I hope you were happy with your life. Thank you for the love you showed me and for being there for me always. I love you.

I'm sorry.. I had to get everything out..I don't know how to make it stop hurting
 
I am really sorry for your loss.

You couldn't have done anything if you where there, please remember you gave Pooky a wonderful life full of love. We can't choose how or when they leave us but we can make their lives full of enjoyment and it is plain to see you did that and you loved him very much. Pooky would have known throughout their life how much you loved them

It is hard to lose a pet, they are part of our family. The pain will feel less raw in a couple of days, be kind to yourself. Talk to your family and friends

I am very sorry

Sleep well little one

RIP Pooky

I'm so so sorry to hear that you are hurting so very much. Pooky was obviously very loved by you. He will have known this. You let the best people look after him while you are out of the Country - who better than your parents to look after your baby? It is hard when you aren't around and your piggy trots off over the Rainbow Bridge. He obviously couldn't wait until you were back as sometimes the call to go is far to strong and they just have go. Please don't blame yourself for not being there when Pooky trundled off maybe he didn't want you to see him go. Try to remember all the good times you had with him.
 
Thank you for your messages.. I just had a video chat with my mum and she is devastated.. she adored him and she can't imagine how it's going to be without him.. she was just holding him in his blankie and cuddling him even now.. I don't know how to get her to be okay..
 
So sorry for your loss.
Grief is hard and painful but it is a process and the rawness will ease for you and your mum.
We only grieve when we have loved and you gave Pookie a life filled with love.
Be gentle with yourself now as you grieve - and be patient.
 
So sorry for your loss.
It's always hard to lose a beloved piggy. Take time and be kind to yourself.
Sending you hugs.
Sleep tight little Pookie.xx
 
Thank you.. my parents buried him today. My grief is very confusing because I'm so far away and I haven't seen this happen to him first hand.. I keep forgetting he's gone and when I find myself smiling or laughing I immediately remember and just break down.
It's so easy so I'm taking it slow.

Thank you all for your messages. I really needed to talk to someone about this and you've all helped. Thank you.
 
I’m so sorry to read that dear little Pooky has passed. Sleep tight little one.
Huge hugs :wub: x
 
Your are feeling raw emotion of losing a piggie that was obviously love and cared for by you and your family.
Sometimes we can't control how our piggie dies and when sudden like this it hits hard.
On this forum you will get love and support from all people who have had happen to them what's had happened to you and Pooky.
It was not your fault and that is easy to say but it wasn't its no ones fault as the light of forever world came. Rainbow World has a lot to answer for but it's where all our piggies go.
Remember as I'm sure you will in time of course the happy times and what a great character he was.
RIP Little guy. x

I’m so sorry that you have lost another :( Sadly, without going through a post mortem, it is near impossible to say.

But what I can say is that there have been a lot of guinea pigs losing their lives during this heatwave especially the elderly and the frail. Are you living in a hot climate?

It's raining where the piggies and my parents are. They seemed to have slight bloat but they were treated for it. Bugsy was okay. The vet said she was fine. Then they got home and it happened...
There was no change in diet, no prior health issues.. nothing..
 
I am so very, very sorry to hear about Bugsy's death so soon after Pooky.
Sometimes there are no answers and we have to find a way of living with that.
Please be gentle and patient with yourself as you grieve - it does take time.
 
So So sorry to hear you have lost another piggy. The heat and humidity have not been kind to piggies.
Sending hugs to you and your other pigs.
Sleep tight little Bugsy.xx
 
I’m so sorry for your losses. It’s hard to lose one let alone two in such a short space of time. They are at peace now and can play together at the rainbow bridge. Guinea pigs are very good at hiding any illness, maybe it was just their time. Give yourself time to grieve, it’s hard but we are here for you in this sad time.
