I've just been writing up his story Bonnie...all I can say is - wow. Going through everything from the start reminds you of just how amazing he, and you, have been. He's one determined little guy and I admire you so much for how you have coped and helped him.

I can't tell you how much I hope the outcome to all of this is positive, there has to be *something* that will just knock his health problems on the head and let him grab back his chance of recovery.

I'm always here, you know you can get hold of me any time. Sending lots more love to the darling Boris and to you. xx
 
I haven't really been "with it" today after losing Herbie last night, but having just read through Boris's thread I wanted to send our best wishes to your very special man. You are doing a fantastic job with him and I am keeping everything crossed that this little man manages to turn the corner.
 
Morning it's just about 8.15 about to go for a walk, but my mobile is with me!
Call if you need xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Boris the girls and i wish you all the best little guy, loads more loves and wheeeeeeeeeeks xx>>>xx>>>xx>>>xx>>>xx>>>xx>>>xx>>>
 
thanks everyone,what nice messages,and a particular thankyou to Caviesgalore as i know how hard a time you must be going through so thankyou for making time to post for Boris x

Boris is still going!i flled up his plate again this morning,ive been refreshing it every 3-4 hours so that its more tempting,he is eating corn,brocolli,carrot and plenty of hay,he still looks very weak but i feel like maybe he might continue until we can help him,chris will be here after lunch time today so i will tell him the recommendations from here for Boris's bumblefoot x
 
See if Chris can get the zith or at least baytril to help him, see also if he can give you a probiotic to help settle his tummy too xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thinking of you all xx>>>xx>>>xx>>>xx>>>xx>>>

COME ON BORIS WE'RE ALL HERE FOR YOU LITTLE GUY
 
have just called chris who was in a consultation at the time but his message was wait until this afternoon as it wont matter if we give him meds now or in 5 hours!.I'm also called glynis's vet but they can't help without my vet talking with them,they said unfortunantly with non piggy vets that they generally wont go out of there way to help but would rather put the animal to sleep,they can't give me any info on meds or anything i don't know what to do boris doesnt look well x
 
I'm sorry to say that Boris will be going into his forever sleep in a hours time.We have sought all the opinions we can and noone thinks he will have any quality of life,his bumble foot is to bad to reverse so he will probably never walk again,we think he has had a stroke,his little body has just suffered to much,i would never do this unless i had to and i am a mess right now just typing because it makes it official once i have said it.The vets say that even if he did recover he will almost certainly have mojor disabilitys and will get hit with other infections and illnesses too.i feel like the worst person in the world he has only had 10 months of life and i have ruined the last few for him8...8...8...8...,please keep Boris in your thoughts and pray for us that he will pass peacefully and be united with all of the other piggies,i dont want him to be alone and suffering anymore xxxxxxx8...8...8...8...
 
Oh Bonnie! Sending every bit of my love your way. Never think you're the worst person in the world...if anything you gave Boris soooo much, and I'm sure he appreciates that and knows just exactly everything you have done for him.


Will definitely send up a prayer for you all and thinking about you tonight and days to come. *hugs*

thanks marie,i cannot stop crying,a year ago i never thought a guinea pig would affect me like this,my world feels like its crashing,i have to get my daughter looked after today as i cant even do the basics for her I'm such a mess,Boris really did steal my heart that very day i met him,he always will be my beautiful petshop piggy,i can't believe we are doing this xx
 
I know this sounds weird now, but I hope you have a sense of relief when he passes (I know this from experience), knowing that he's in a better place over the Rainbow Bridge. Nothing will take away your heartache but at least take a little bit of comfort in it.

I think you and your OH are truly amazing people for giving Boris the best quality of life possible, when most piggies wouldn't have made it thus far. Of course credit also goes to Mr Boris, but he really couldn't have done it without you.

My Mom also sends her love, she's been keeping up with your story, asking me how Boris is every single day.
 
thankyou,I'm really glad Both us and Boris have this much support,he will always be my number 1 piggy as he was my official first,i will take some relief when he is out of pain but i don't feel any better,i really should go and spend more time with him so i will be on later x

P.S tell your mum i said thankyou it means alot that so many people really do care for him x

Yes, do spend more time with him! I'll catch up with you whenever you get back on whether it be tomorrow or in the next few days. I have a feeling this thread is going to be absolutely OVERFLOWING tomorrow...

Just remember, you're never alone, many people over the world are thinking about and supporting you!

Dear Bonnie, I'm so very sorry. This little chap has pulled at all of our heartstrings, a very special little man.

Am thinking of you and sending many hugs your way.
 
Bonnie and Boris

I'm just checking in before I go to work and I'm sorry to hear this last bit of news, thinking of you today.

Sending hugs. x
 
hi everyone,not much in the mood for talking have been crying for hours now8...
Boris went very peacefully and outside in his favourite green grass,his last moments were very special and he didnt feel any pain,thank you for all your knid words over these past months it has meant the world to Boris my family and myself,
RIP beautiful Boris man you always will be the light of my life xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
I have been thinking of you for hours now.............
I went down to see the girls about the time i knew Chris would be there and cuddled them and told them their little mate Boris was so sick he was going to a forever sleep 8...8...8...8... You know they were just so quiet and sweet they knew how upset i was :(
All our love sweetie i'll talk to you when you feel like it xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
I'm so very sorry. You both put up a tremendous fight. He was a beautiful boy and no doubt will be sorely missed.

xx
 
You have touched us all with Boris's story. He may have passed too soon, but he was certainly a pampered little boy. We all understand what you are going through. You just have to remember how much joy he brought to your life, and you to his. Everyone is allowed one special piggie, where the bond is stronger than with any others. I didn't know Boris, though I felt like I did, but he certainly looked like a very special and brave little boy.
 
Oh Bonnie, sorry I have only caught up on this thread - I am so sorry to hear about Boris - he is now in a beautiful place at peace and I'm sure he will be forever missed. What a strong little lad.

My thoughts are with you and your family.


Sleep tight little man, you are one special piggie - be at rest now xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
I'm so, so sorry... I was dreading reading this. At least it was all peaceful and you've been such a great nurse to him, you couldn't have done more than you have done.

Sending huge hugs and thinking of you

Sophie

I'm so sorry Bonnie, don't blame yourself you did all you could to make him better. He is at peace now, take some comfort from that if you can. x

(((hugs)))
 
Oh Bonnie...I'm too shocked to write much now (god knows how you are feeling) so will talk to you properly later.

Bless you, Boris. xxxxxx

*Hugs*
 
Another beautiful star to twinkle in the sky. I'm so very sorry Boris has gone to RB, such a gorgeous little guy and you have worked miracles with him, you should be very proud of your achievements Bonnie and please don't ever question what you have or haven't done (easy to say I know), you did what you had to do and Boris would have known that. Sending hugs and best wishes at what I know is an awful time.8...
