aww honey, my heart goes out to you it really does :( it's something only time can heal i really hope your piggies are pregnant, it will give you something to look forward to and work towards and like you said piggy will live on through his babies x
 
What a lovely tribute to a very special piggy!
 
Hi PiggyLove, I am sorry for your loss. People who have never had a piggy wouldn't understand why we feel so sad when we lose our furry friends, but there are lots of people on here who will sympathise.

I lost my 7 year old girlie last week & am still in shock as she was so good for her age, she could still run about if she wanted to, & was so friendly she would sit & lick my arms when I cuddled her 8... I don't think I will ever get over her loss & am not sure I could manage another pair of piggies just yet as they could never ever replace my sweet Poppy. Try to take a day at a time like I do & give yourself time to grieve. I hope your lady piggies do have some babies, I wish I had a baby of Poppy's to cuddle...
Take care of yourself.
 
I read this yesterday and it made me cry :( bless you.

RIP Piggy x
 
I am so so very sorry for your loss. Please don't feel guilty. You were doing what you thought best for your piggies and it went horribly wrong. Please don't feel it's your fault because you sound like an amazing owner who has so much love for your little boy and I think the fact that you nurtured him so well so that he felt so very confident in your presence just shows how much love and trust he had for you in return. You said that he and your sow mated. Are there any signs she is pregnant? What a wonderful reminder of your boy it will be if his piggy wife has babies. Keep strong sweetheart x
 
thank you so much - I will keep * informed as to a pregnancy i am so hopeful x)
 
hi piggylove,

i've just read your story, and i am now in floods of tears 8... 8...

dont feel guilty, you were only doing what you thought was best for Piggy and your girls.

i was upset enuf when i lost my hamster, i cant begin to imagine the pain and heartbreak i will go through when our babies depart this earth.

he was a beautiful boy and you have chosen his resting place well.



RIP little man 8...
 
Oh my goodness, you loved Piggy so much, and believe me, he knew it x>>
I am so, so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine how you feel, I haven't been in your position, but I can feel your pain through your posts, I really hope you are okay.
Piggy's looking down on you now, from rainbow bridge, he'll always be there, with you in your heart, never forgotten.
Hope you are holding up okay, run free little Piggy xox
 
I'm so very sorry to hear this sad news. SLeep well gorgeous boy.
 
Ive just discovered cosies and soft fleece beds if only i could have known about them when piggy was in the vets :( i would have given him one to cuddle up to

if only i could have made his last few days comfy in the vets with a fleece cosie :(
 
You've been through so much with this boy, it's so sad that you've lost him, please don't beat yourself up over this, we can only assume his time had come.. GA and operations are very risky, I personally choose to keep my Boars paired up away from my Sows, and will not be having either of them neutered, I do not believe in interfering with such a small animal's anatomy when not necessary, and my local vets are not really guinea pig savvy..
You've got some little piglets to look forward to, and who know's one of them might even be the spit of him, al little memories of a lovely boy;) Sending you hugs (((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))

Thank you so much. I agree with you in messing around with their anatomy I will NEVER get another piggy neutered ever again after this. My Piggy was a healthy boy too which goes to show. :(

:( I would love to have two male boars together in a cage but the problem is ive got two females and if they smell the females they may fight?

Thanks so much for kind words xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
I have two boys, a short haired with interestingly long bum hair :)) called Biscuit and a Peruvian called Crackers.. they live under a table where as the females live on top of the table.. they never fight, in fact, I think Crackers is gay, as he's never shown any interest in the females-c, where as Biscuit does from time to time, and yes does try to hump poor Crackers, but he just puts up with these rare occasions..
They're the only two males I've had, that live in total harmony with each other, so it's really is pot luck, a matching of personalities.. You might have more luck if you get two males in one of the litters, as they'll grow up together;)

LOL LOL i adore the name Crackers thats so fab:(|)
 
I'm so so so sory for your loss, we always blame ourselves but you were just trying to do the right thing, many pigs get neutered and are fine but some just dont cope, unfortunately you werent to know.

This made me cry so hard but I think you're very brave and using this thread as an outlet to talk and remember him is healthy, bottling it up doesnt help, trust me. I'm sure he knew how much you loved him too.

Remember all the good times and dont dwell on what might have been, chin up xx
 
this forum has helped me so much because I was drinking to numb the pain and talking on here has helped me. I dont usually drink but i needed to - it helped for a week (ive stopped now).

It cut my heart out losing Piggy and I still grieve him now its like a empty hole in my heart now - i cuddle the girls and love them but not the same as Piggy :( if I'm honest

I guess it will take time
 
Aw PiggyLove lots of ((hugs)) I know exactly what you mean, I had a serious wobble yesterday was driving the whole family mad with my moodyness :( I can't get over losing my little piggie either, I think I am getting better but then the pain hits you like a steam train at times doesn't it? 8...
 
rip piggy

yes it does hit you - at first i was just numb and I had a drink or two to help me. Now I'm slowly coming to terms with it but I still miss him greeting me with a loud wheeeeek wheeeek wheeeek when i get up in the morning and when i come home wheeek wheeek wheek. Now when i come home its silence 8...

Maybe the girlies will squeek one day. They squeek for food and everytime they squeek i reward them with a treat so they know wheeek means food LOL LOL

I miss my baby
 
PiggyLove hope you are okay, it was not your fault you lost Piggy, he was so loved & cared for & you did the best you could for him. Please don't blame yourself. I keep thinking "what if?" or "why?" did I lose my darling Poppy, I still don't know if it was me that did something wrong or what (she died of torsion a horrible death) I just followed what advice I was given at the time :( after 7 years & she was in perfect health, nothing was fed any differently, now I have to live with it & not knowing.

Please keep your chin up, Piggy may yet live on in your girlie's offspring, fingers crossed for you. ((hugs))
 
beautiful tribute to a beautiful piggy and a beautiful relationship x
