fur & buzz

i'm sooo sad... i kneww i was taking on a guinea pig with problems when i got him, an i thought about bringing him to a vet, but everyone said he needed time to settle, he was getting much livelier and friendlier and this morning i went in and found him dead. he was fine yesterday, had him out on the floor as normal and he didn't seem sick or anything, he'd been eating better and all....wwhen i got him, he's been in a fight before, but all his cuts were almost healed, and well, no sign of any problem with them, he'd has bruises under his front legs too, but i was watching them, and they never got worse or anything...i also knew he couldn't walk properly on his back legs, but the pet shop reckoned it was genetic and said it didn't affect him...he didn't seem to mind shuffling around...i'm so sad. they have more babies coming in today....do i get furby a new friend soon or wait a bit, he spent about half hour looking for poor buzz after i took him out.....they were only together 2 weeks, but that's probably forever to them....they got along straight away..now i'm afraid he wont get along with another new one.....
 
so sorry for your loss. If it was me i would leave Furby for a little just to let him grieve. Give him loads of extra cuddles. I would then get him a baby boar or maybe castrate him so he could have some girly friend(s)

RIP Buzz light year:(
 
aww poor buzz, it can happen so quickly. I agree with sue it would be best to leave Furby for a little while then get him a friend and in the meantime give him lots and lots of love!

RIP Buzz
 
thanks all, yeah i think i'll wait a few days... he seems very happy to sit on my knee and doze off at the mo...if only there were guinea pig rescues here, i've tries the ispca ect, and no one knows of any....so i guess it'll be another pet shop pig.... also, vets here dont seem willing to castrate them, or rabbits either....but he's a pretty gentle pig so i'd say he'd be ok wit another gentle boy! it's quite hard here to even find a pet shop wit nice pigs, not to mention pig accessories! am having to buy on line! (not piggies obviously!)
 
can you take Furby along to choose a friend? I know it's uncouth in a pet shop but that way you avoid having to take any one back in case it doesn't work out... maybe you could ask the pet shops in advance?
Condolences.
RIP Buzz...8...8...8...
