I am so sad to say that Milly has passed away. I adopted her from the RSPCA at Walsall in November, along with her friend Molly.
She has been neglected before arriving at the RSPCA and was particularly troubled with bumblefoot.

We overcame her bumblefoot with visits to the vet and the final treatment of Baytril lasting for one month which seemed to do the trick.

She had been fine, she was happy and loved sitting in her new hutch overlooking the garden from her "patio window". But tonight when I went to tuck them in for the night, Milly seemed to throw herself over the food bowls near the hutch door. It was as if she was trying to tell me something. It was very odd.

I took her out and cuddled her trying to see what was wrong but she passed away in my arms within about 10 minutes. There was nothing I could do.

I am just so shocked and saddened ... I can't stop crying. Yesterday, there seemed nothing wrong.

I was hoping that we would have lots more years together ... but she has now gone!

I will miss Milly just so much and Molly will also.
I loved her dearly. I really don't know why she had to go.

My Milly ...

Run free little Milly with no pain from your feet and enjoy the forever green grass. I will always love you deeply xx
 
Ah no, I'm so sorry. Such a beautiful little girl, and gone too soon. RIP sweet Milly.
 
Bev I am truly sorry for your loss.

What a terrible shock for you, I know how much this little miss meant to you as well. I remember her story and it was wonderful to see how she responded to your care and attention.

A very sad day for you. :( She will always be with you in your heart though.




Night night little girl, watch over your mummy and run free at The Bridge.

Thinking of you Bev x x x
 
Oh Bev i'm really sorry love to hear about little Milly 8...8...8...
RIP Milly run free at the bridge little one, i'm sure you were welcomed with open paws from many friends and family at the bridge, munch out on the lush green grass and dandelions xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) and very special loves from us all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Another little star twinkling in the sky ............. :(
 
I'm so sorry Bev, sounds like it was very quick and at least you were with her in her final moments. So sad when they leave to soon.

Sending huge hugs

I'm so very sorry your little dear Milly has gone 8... I remember her fondly and she like many other brave piggies was an inspiration on here :) R.I.P. Milly - gone to be a beautiful angel piggy to play with the other piggies happily xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Give a huge cuddle to Molly and thinking of you xxxxxxxxxxx
 
I am so sorry for your sudden loss!

Milly looks like she was such a sweetie, and you cared for her superbly!
She was waiting for your love to carry her through on her last journey, and you were there to give her that last, precious gift.

RIP Milly - you are sadly missed by Molly and your loving mummy
 
She was so beautiful. I am very sorry you've lost her, she was a special girl.

Rest well, darling Milly. xx
 
So sorry to hear of milly's passing.
At least she went being in a loving home and knowing she was loved, and you gave her a second chance in life with love and happiness and that is something you should be very proud of and i'm sure if your Milly could talk she would never be able to thank you enough for what you have done for her and her sister.

Have fun at the bridge darling milly x
 
What a dreadful shock, but please take comfort from the fact that her final minutes were spent being craddled by you. Run free at Rainbow Bridge darling Milly.
 
She was such a sweetie, I am so sorry she passed away Bev :( she was waiting for you to say goodbye....

Sweet dreams little Milly xx
 
My heart goes out to you. I am so sorry that Milly was taken from you so suddenly but take comfort from the fact that she was in your arms and would have felt loved and safe. You gave this lovely girl a woderful life and nursed her back to health when she was ill with bumblefoot. If was fate that you found each other and although you time together was cut short, know that no one could have cared for Milly the way you did. Look for that extra bright star in the sky and know that Milly will be watching over you always.
 
Thanks for your kind thoughts everyone.
I am very sad that Milly left us ... it seems very strange that she has gone and so suddenly. I still can't believe it. :(

Molly thinks that every time we open her hutch door that Milly is going to be put back in and was staying all the time in her bedroom. Yesterday, before taking Milly's body to the vet I put Milly back in and Molly came straight out, sniffed her, nudged her and then laid down beside her. I think she then knew why Milly had gone.

This morning Molly is out sitting by her window of her hutch so I am hoping she is going to be ok. I will now have to think what is best for Molly regarding a companion.

Thanks again, that is just so lovely to have all your support.
 
I am so sorry for your loss :( Milly was a beautiful piggy and her months with you would have been very happy ones. Sleep peacefully Milly and have fun at the bridge. Watch over your mummy and of course Molly as they love you and will miss you very much xxxxxx
 
Would Umbrella be an option for a companion? that would be a happy thing for both after their respective sad times x

Umbrella has a companion in waiting ... little Dawnie.
I got Dawnie on Tuesday (who is in quarantine indoors at the moment) and then Milly died so unexpectedly on Wednesday.

But yes, I am going to try bonding Molly as well so that it can be a trio.

Please keep everything crossed that it will go well!
