Pocca was 7 months old and a wonderful character. She was loving and loved nothing more than a snuggle in my neck and kisses.
She used to love her ears and tummy rubbed and would talk to me all the time.
On 25th March 2010 she gave birth to 4 beautiful babies. Unfortunately Baby Poc left us after 1 and a half days- and Mummy missed her very much.
Her 3 other babys- moo, gingernut and blacky are thriving. They are gorgeous and Mummy was very proud of them.
unfortunately after baby poc died, Poc became very sad and this is when her troubles started.
I took her to the vets a few times and finally last week she was diagnosed with a bad bone infection in her leg, he said antibiotics may work but to prepare for the worst.
She gave up eating on her own i syring fed her every 4 hours for the past 5 days, a couple of days ago she started to eat veggies hand fed but not when in her cage- which i thought was her being fussy, and this morning she started to eat herself once placed infront of the food bowl. Everytime i went to pick her up she didn't run- normally she would run.
I rang the vets and asked if they could test for Blindness- and she was booked in thursday for her checks.
From her morning feed- to lunch time cuddle i noticed her leg went massive and she was lying down on her side. She was rushed into the vets and i was given 3 options- a new course of antibiotics which he said would probably work for a little while but would not clear the infection as it had spread, ambutate her leg or PTS.
I decided to PTS and let the poor piggie rest, when he gassed her to sleep she was so weak she lost all control of her bodily functions and her body and he told me then that she would not survive the surgery.
I held her in my arms and told her how much me and martyn loved her and i let her go. I broke my heart afterwards- my mum who rarely cries even cried. She was a much loved guinea pig and will be truly missed.
Pocca- My beautiful baby piggie- hop over the rainbow bridge and give baby Moo a massive cuddle and love from me- You will be gone but never forgotten.
RIP POCCA- MY BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS
