Hanwombat
Senior Guinea Pig
My beautiful Jake died during the night from a bad case of bloat!
Jake was prone to Impaction and 99% of the time once it was out he was fine, but not this time! He had a unusually large poo plug than normal and I noticed straight away that it was bloat.
Dispite my best efforts (and a trip to the vets) sadly the bloat just would not burge. I was with him from first finding out to before he died massaging his tummy and trying my hardest to shift the bloat but it wouldn't budge
Jake was a lovely guinea pig, he was never aggressive to others, loved his food and loved cuddles.
I have lost a great member of my gang today and the last of my previous generation of piggies.
Its hard to think that I won't see him again but I am glad that he is no longer suffering and he can see his brother Hector once again.
I showed his body to Lentil this morning so he could say his goodbye, Lentil decided he wanted to rumble at him instead rolleyes
