I don't often post here but I'm constantly reading over threads and find this little section a comforting place to say goodbye :(

My gorgeous little Blitzen sadly left me yesterday afternoon, it had all come so suddenly and i'm still in shock over it. He was perfectly fine and healthy, I came home on saturday to him making soft hooting noises but otherwise eating and active. I took him to my local out of hours vet hospital, was given baytril and critical care just in case. Not long after the baytril he stopped eating once home and after several un-sucessful feeds I took him straight back to stay overnight.

He was force fed whilst there and when I called the next morning he was eating a little normally again, alert and active. I then recieved the dreaded call to say he had suffered a sudden heart attack. As I said i'm still in shock, he wasn't very old and an adoptee Piggie, we would snuggle most nights watching tv. His companion, Comet, seems to have moved on but the cage seems so lonely and empty without Blitzen to watch over him as he always did. They used to bicker over food then snuggle up at night, don't think I could have found a more perfect pair.

I'm so heartbroken, I've not stopped crying since the phonecall and all I can think about is the cuddle I promised him when he was home again. I also feel so guilty about him dying in an unfamiliar place, away from Comet and without me to help him go. I'll miss you big lad, hope you have found Cookie up there and are keeping each other company til we meet again :(

I am so sorry. I know what it is like to lose a pet at the vets. Our last dog was only young and whilst being cared for at the vets suffered organ failure and died suddenly. I cant forgive myself for not being with her and cuddling her as she went over the Bridge. So I know what you mean and I wish I could give you a hug. You did the very best you could, dont be hard on yourself. More hugs x
 
I'm sorry you have lost your Blitzen :(

I lost my Rodney (My avatar photo) last year when he was at the vets after an Op, and I felt so bad for not being with him so I completely understand how you are feeling.

RIP Blitzen x>>
 
Oh no. That is awful. What a terrible shock for you. I am so sorry for your sad loss.
 
aww thats heartbreaking, but please dont feel bad, you got help what more could he have asked for.

Rip Blitzen, sleep well fella x
 
So sorry you lost your gorgeous piggie. It is so heartbreaking and awful when they leave. You did everything you could for him. *hugs*

RIP Blitzen

Thank you everybody :( it's always lovely for piggie lovers to come together in sad times and all your kind words are appreciated. It's been such a strange day seeing Comet by himself, i've been spoiling him so much but the empty house and no big fat black piggie curled up snoozing after his tea is hard to see :(
 
So very sorry to hear about Blitzen. When the tears dry you can take comfort from all the lovely memories you have. Popcorn free at the bridge...
 
I have now lost two of my (younger) piggies to sudden heart failure (which it sounds like) within hours of them showing the first symptoms and despite of taking them to the vets asap, and it has left me quite literally shaking. So I can really feel for you!

RIP Blitzen - so sad you couldn't stay any longer.

I completely agree I also think it was heart failure, i'm not sure why but that seems to make it all the more painful, knowing there was little you could do and losing him so young (he was adopted two years ago at 9 months old). Sorry to hear you also felt this sadness, I always thought he and Comet would grow old together, makes you appreciate what you have! Poor Comet is probably sick of being cuddled and cried on today!
 
Sorry for your sudden sad loss. Blitzen was a lovely shiney little piggy and i'm sure he's playing happily over the rainbow bridge now. Try not to beat yourself up about him being at the vets when he passed - I know it's easy to say and not easy to do. Big hugs for you and Comet x
 
Whee are so very very sorry to hear about your dear Blitzen 8...8...8...
RIP Blitzen run free at the bridge, now reunited with Cookie, have fun together popcorning thru the lush green meadows and enjoy nibbling on the dandelions and clover, you'll be so very very sadly missed by your devastated mummy and buddy Comet but NEVER EVER forgotten xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) and loads of loves from Glynis, Velvet and Onyx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Another little star now twinkling in the sky .............. :(


I'm sure Comet wont mind you crying on him......they are such sweet little ones who i'm sure understand our feelings :)
HUGS XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 
Sorry to hear of your loss :( whilst I understand you're sad for not being there, at least you took Blitzen to the vets where his chances would've been greatly improved. Far better than keeping him at home and denying him the specialist care. R.I.P Blitzen
 
I'm so sorry to hear about Blitzen, it's horrible when it comes out of nowhere. My Casper went downhill very quickly, and within 12 hours of finding him ill he was gone :( I hope that you are doing OK, and that Comet is coping with the loss too.
Run free over the bridge Blitzen, know that all the other piggies are watching over you xx
