Rumblestrutt Free little man, Jet

Oh Jet! :soz::soz::soz::soz:

I am so so sorry to hear of his passing, I’m sure he is looking down at you between rumblestruts and smiling at the wonderful slave he had that went above and beyond to provide him with the best possible life.

Such a sad loss but lots of hugs to one of the best piggie mommies out there.
 
@Katiedid I know you loved Jet with all your heart and my heart goes out to you. What a sad day for you. The Rainbow Bridge has got a new hero in their midst today. Sleep well Jet and rumblestrut your ar*e off!
 
I am very sorry. You have fought hard for Jet; he couldn't have asked for a more determined mummy. Sadly some things you just can't battle out with sheer will power. :(

Jet knew that he was very much loved and cared for!
 
My heart sank when I saw Jets name here. You really fought all you could for him buddy. He couldn't have had a more caring loving Mum. You did him proud I hope you know that. I know the decision is heartbreaking but you did it out of love for him and sometimes it is the last act of love we can ever do for them. Huge hugs to you, we are all here for you. x x

Sleep well Handsome boy

RIP Jet

@Katiedid noone could have done more for that piggy. He was so well loved. I’m so sorry that you had to take this decision but you showed the ultimate act of love in helping your little one to the Bridge. Huge hugs xx. Popcorn free Jet you beauty.
 
Thank you all, we are devastated, I feel like my heart has been shattered. I need to clean the girls out but it’s just too heartbreaking.

I will be. I said all along that when he was ill with it I would stop. He had been active and happy to that point. The moment he was seriously ill it was clear that it was time to stop. I didn’t want him to die after months of bloat - although the chances of him lasting the night were slim.

Exactly. You’ve always put him first, even though it was hard for you. You’re an amazing pig mum. Sending big hugs your way :hug:
 
Thank you all. I am torturing myself at the moment. I keep thinking maybe I should have given it 24 hours more, maybe I should have tried harder. Maybe I owed him that. I know in my deart of hearts that had I left him he could have had a horrific death, his bloat was liquid not gas - he shoshed as I put him back down, and he wasn't willingly chewing so I could easily have aspirated him. The usual things that worked, heat, vibration, massage were making sod all difference. He wasn't chewing the critical care. He had given up, but I feel like I gave up on him. I see other posts where they come back from dental/bloat and I think why couldn't I manage that. Sigh, I guess it takes time.
 
It's all part of the grieving process @Katiedid. The what-ifs that haunt us. You know you did the right thing out of love for Jet. Its the last act of love we can give our pets. He is at peace now with no more bloat. You tried your very best to get him better. Like you said the usual stuff didn't work. A piggy knows when it's time to go and as he had given up his time had come. He knew he was loved.
 
RIP Jet. Popcorn free lovely boy. He loved you very much and it wasn’t your fault. Xx
