I know I havent used this site for some time but i thought i'd tell you that my beloved Honey passed away on tuesday. I'm gutted. SO gutted. He was only 1 and a half years old. He's always had a few breathing problems but nothing major until tuesday morning. I noticed his breathing was slightly laboured on monday night so i started him on his medicine for his chest again but I woke up on tuesday morning and noticed he'd become worse. I knew he was dying. His lips had turned a grey colour and he was struggling to get his breath. He wasnt eating or drinking or pooping. He couldnt. I gently picked him up and he was cold. His body tempurature had plumeted. He sat in my arms a little while ( tears streaming down my face) but i had to leave the house urgently for a few hours. I put him back in his cage with Brandy and i kind of knew i wouldnt see him alive again but i dismissed that thought. I even made an appointment at the vets for later on. I rushed home but it was too late. He'd gone.
I'm crying now typing this. I dont even think he would have made the journey to the vets on tuesday morning anyway. I'm so upset. If only i could have held him until he passed away. I'm completely heartbroken. Ive been off work now for 2 days just cuddling lonely little Brandy. The strange thing is is that i took them both to the vets on friday for a health check. Everything was fine. It was just all so sudden. Tears just keep rolling down my cheeks. I keep thinking 'did i do something wrong?, was it me?, was it the hay?, was it something in the air?' I really really hope he wasnt in any kind of pain. He probably was though if he couldnt get his breath. It just breaks my heart. It really does.
But for now i must find a friend for Brandy. She's coping well with lots of cuddles and affection. Ideally I'm after another castrated boar and I'm looking for a proper breeder with a good reputation, healthy pigs etc etc. I bought Honey and Brandy from Pets@Home and have had nothing but health problems with Honey. Luckily Brandy's been ok so far. She's 1 and half years old too. Honey was sexed as a girl when i first bought him (hence the name) only to find out he'd got Brandy pregnant. Ive just had so many problems since. I hate that place. I should have done my research before i bought my pigs but saying that i wouldnt change them/her now.
Anyway, I live in Derbyshire, Chesterfield way and if anyone can recommend a breeder then i'd be really really grateful. I dont mind travelling further a field either. I just want a healthy pig.
Sorry for rambling on. I just had to talk about my baby. He meant so much to me. :'(
