Junior Guinea Pig
Hey guys,
I saw it coming, every day I would part ways with her I would say ‘I love you and maybe I will see you later, if not, that’s okay too.’ And yesterday she passed after being sick for 3 months. Oh I shouldn’t say sick, cause my vet tested everything they could and they couldn’t find anything that would suggested she was in bad health. But she was losing weight, rapidly. Going from 900 to 440 grams. Meanwhile still being her normal self and eating all the same things. She was a medical mystery. And even with me multiple times a day syringe feeding her, she kept declining.
But I’m not here to tell you why she died. But I wanted to share how she passed and who she was. Cause she was really special. Yesterday she acted normal as ever. Took her critical care. I even took everyone’s yearly Christmas picture so I could keep the Christmas card tradition up. Why on the first of November? I don’t know, but I know now that that was her last picture. That evening I went to grab her little bowl, so I could prepare her critical care. She wheeked really hard, like she usually did, when I entered her room. But when my eyes landed on her, she wobbled and could barely walk. I know then she was about to go. She took a few steps and then she lost consciousness, but she woke again and hobbled to her little house where she again lost consciousness. I didn’t know if she was gonna pas right away, and decided to wait some time, and if it took to long I would bring her to the vet. In a hurry I grabbed her a pea flake. I put it in front of her face. She layed her paw on my hand and then she passed. She passed surrounded by all her friends, and it all happened within one and a halve minutes. And I couldn’t be more grateful of such a beautiful passing. But I’m still heartbroken. Even tho I thought for the last 3 months that every day would be the day she would go. Yesterday she decided to give me one last photo, one last wheek and one last touch.
She was very special to me. Together with her first friend she was the first guinea pigs I got as an adult. And from the start she was different. She didn’t have any danger sense, nothing was scary to her and every new room a new adventure for her to explore. She didn’t like being picked up, but she loved to follow me on the ground. And could very well communicate when she wanted a snack. To people I always described her as a little dog. She listened to her name. She was my most special piggie. And missing her is breaking me into a million pieces. I’m physically sick. And the cage feels empty without her. I still grab her little bowl to prepare her critical care, and I grab 7 treats instead of 6.
It’s going to take me awhile to adjusted. But I know she is in a better place right now, and I have peace with that.
So everyone, this is Lux, luxie. And she will be greatly missed <3
