Just thought I would update you. I lost my little girl today. She wasn't herself at all. Tried to feed her some critical care and it looked like she was trying to be sick. This went on for 10 mins or so so I took her straight to the vets who had seen her 2 wks ago. The vet said he could feel a mass and said the kindest thing to do was to put her to sleep. Now my poor licorish is on her own. Will she cope? What do I do. I don't want to go out and just replace her but I don't want my other little girl to suffer. I'm not sure if I want to start a circle either. When my current little girl goes if I get another then they will be left behind so it start again. At the end of the day I will put my little girl first. Please advise
 
I am so sorry for you, what a hard day. Maybe you need to sleep on things and see how you feel. Monitor Licorish, give her lots of cuddles, keep her warm and weigh her. My girls just lost their Bo, I cant tell how much they miss her but they have each other still. Remember we dont replace our pets, we remember them forever, but our hearts are big enough to give more love to other animals. I still feel my tight heart for Bo and if I have any other piggies it would never replace her. Take care, try to rest tonight. x
 
Oh I know I can never replace her as they all have their own lovely personalities so I'm sorry if it came across wrong. Been a bad week my lovely cat got hit by a car tues night haven't slept since x
 
I am so sorry for your loss and I can completely relate to this. I had to have one if my girls PTS last Tuesday. It was such a heartbreaking decision to have to make and It happened all so fast. I miss her so much.

My 3 remaining girls have spent this week grieving. They have been quieter than normal although yesterday they shouted for their breakfast for the first time since Ellie's passing. I am grateful they have each other for company and support.

i imagine your remaining girl will be feeling very sad right now. You will probably notice her being quiet and not quite herself. This is perfectly normal for a grieving piggy.

Although you will never replace Cinnamon, I strongly suggest you consider getting Licorish a friend or two. Guinea pigs really do need company of their own kind.

Don't rush in to anything and take time to grieve for your loss. In the meantime, you could give Licorish a soft cuddly toy (one with stitched eyes rather than pastic sewn on eyes) cuddly toys suitable for babies are recommended and give her plenty of TLC xx
 
No you did not come across wrong don't be sorry at all, I know we can feel scared about getting new pets due to the love we have for the ones we have lost. I feel so upset two weeks on from losing Bo. I am sleeping better now, but I dont love her less. I think you need to take a few days to decide if a getting a friend is right. Just monitor Licorish and give her love. Check her weight and you may need to syringe feed her if she loses weight. My piggies are so different although they are all sisters. I think their personalities makes us love them so much.
I am sorry to hear about your cat, did you lose your cat to? Do try to get some rest. xx
 
Hi Hun I am exactly the same situation as I had to have izzy put to sleep on Monday now pancake is on her own. We have made the decision to look for a rescue pig to live with pancake.

We can never replace izzy but like you, we want to make sure pancake is as happy as can be as well as give another piggie a loving home xx

So sorry for your loss xx
