Oh heck what a completely awful run for you and your piggies :(. You must be exhausted by the emotions - take care.
Sleep well gorgeous Cesaro and go and find your friends and share some meadow time.
 
@Kerrie74 i am so sorry for your loss I have just lost my fudgie pig 1 week ago today and I too am feeling guilty and also in my head blaming the vets because I rang the rspca helpline to get emergency vets numbers in Chesterfield and they gave me my normal vets number and another number so I rang my normal vet and it was an automated message saying call alfreton or Sheffield (both a half an hour journey) so I called the second number and they said I need to call my normal vet because they will have to get all the details about him from my normal vet?! So I traveled to alfreton and when I got there they said he had heart attack or a stroke and took him into the back and said he's died while they were getting the oxygen for him! After doing research in thinking he didn't even have that I think he had bloat and if I'd have known at the time I would have been able to rub his tummy and put him on a vibrating plate to try and shift the gas but I was in such a panic to get him to the vets he died. I am mad that the first one wouldn't look at him and I'm mad that the second one said he had heart attack or a stroke and they also said if it was a cat or a dog I'd have done cpr! And I told them to save him no matter what the cost. I am still devastated over him but I just want you to know that you've done nothing wrong and some vets have no idea about Guinea pigs X
 
Aww I know how you feel @Stayc1989 :(

Cesaro started off with a nasty parasite, he had antibiotics for 10 days and I had my son take him back for a check up because she said she would check his feces to make sure the parasite had gone, she didn't and he began to get ill again, she checked his feces the next time and he still had the parasite, not as many but he still had them, she again gave him antibiotics but I don't know what happened I think the parasite had damaged his intestines and that he just couldn't recover from it, he dropped down to below 600g, he was very constipated, dehydrated, hungry and yet my son was hand feeding and watering him, it was just no good. The vet first said she thought it was diabetes (after the antibiotics didn't work) his pee was checked, negative as I thought it would be, the day after we had him pts his lab results for his poo came back clear, so then she decides to call us and tell us the results as I asked but this time she said it couldn't have been a tumour... I honestly think that this horrible parasite had caused the damage and that she either doesn't know how this parasite can damage animals and cause infections which kill them or she just doesn't want to admit the parasite caused the damage.

I even tried sending her info on it but she thought she knew better...
 
Ah Kerry I'm very sorry for your experience with the vet.ive a vet in loughborough,who is on the vet locator,he has been very good with all my piggies.if you do not drive it maybe alittle way for you to go.I feel for you,words fail me to see how you have been let down.thinking of you and takecare of yourself.glad you have a very loving son.xx
 
Kerrie its not where you live,it is how you are as a person,i try not to make judgements on where people live,come from.we are all equal.i would rather someone had no money and was kind ,knew what love was/is.than someone with lots of money and did not give a hoot.you hold your head up high.ive been out on my cycle up to the monastry,sight for anyone!:hug: to you.xx
 
True, I have no money it gets spent on the piggies @eileen lol. I don't really bother with people off the net due to anxiety disorders and other health problems, it's pretty much just me, Aidan, Mum plus our dog, mouse and guinea pigs :)
 
Thank you @piggieminder to be honest it is taking a fair bit out of me, I feel so fed up and down at the moment. I sent feedback to the vets about Cesaro's treatment and the clinical director sent a nice email back saying she's taken the decision to stock baycox in case another guinea pig goes in with the parasite Cesaro had and needs it as urgently she has also mentioned speaking to the vet about certain other aspects in regards to the parasite, ie how to advise client on how to clean and such. I did send her some info so I'm not sure if she's using that or looking into it herself.

This was the second guinea we had a bond with and the second that was taken from us, we didn't really have time to get to know Badger sadly.
 
It's awful when you put your trust into someone to do the best for your pets and you feel like they haven't done all they can to help, I hope your okay X
 
If you need anyone to talk to I'm here if you need me and I fully understand How you must be feeling as fudge was the love of my life Guinea pig and I don't think I will ever get over him X
