I made one of the hardest decisions of my life, to euthanize my Stella. For the past year she has had a few medical conditions that have now reached the worst. I've seen vets and made other difficult decisions but now it's come to this. Tomorrow is my last day with her, and after going through so many emotions, I almost feel numb now. I'm afraid of how much it will hurt when I hold her as she goes. It will be so different not having her in my life, and I hope Maude will cope alright. I've never really experienced the death of a loved one, so death and loss just seem so real and frightening right now. I just hope that if she could understand, that she would know that I'm just trying to prevent her pain and suffering. I hope she would tell me that I did a wonderful job and that she loved her life. I was selfless with them and they gave me so much: happiness and company during rough times, laughter, and endless love. I've never experienced such emotional pain as I have been. I just hope that her soul will live on elsewhere and that this isn't really the end.
 
I'm so so so sorry for you. At least you get to say goodbye :)
She has had a lovely lovely life with you and Maude.
Sending you the loveliest of wishes and stuff.
Just think that she will be in a lot less pain!
x I'm so sorry! I know how it feels, when Darwin died. I just saw him dying, one of the worst things to have to see. Just knowing that there is nothing you can do about it. Just make the most of your last moments together.
I'm so sorry... !
 
You are so brave and thoughtful to put Stella first and make this very difficult decision. I am so sorry for your loss.
 
I am so sorry you have to make such a horrible decision :( To make her passing painless & better from your perspective you can ask for them to use a gas to sedate her first as it is much kinder that way. I am so sorry :(
 
I am so sorry you find yourself in this position, many of us here have had to do, so be assured, you have 100's of people around you here who care and understand.

Sometimes when we have to make this decision, it is the last act of love and care we can give our babies, to end their pain and suffering and help them on their way to start a fresh new healthy life at rainbow bridge, where there is ulimited grass and danelions, and loads of new friends.

As hard as it is, try not to be sad, make the most of the time left, spoil her with her favourite treats, and have all of the cuddles you can both manage, remember the good times.

Big hugs x
 
So so sorry for your loss.

Huge hugs and cuddles from me and the furry brood xxxxxxxx
 
Thank you everyone, it has really helped to have such support and kind words. You are all wonderful.
 
I'm so sorry you're having to make this decision but you are doing it for all the right reasons. Hugs x

It is always such a heartbreaking decision to make, and it never gets any easier. Stella will have felt your love; guinea pigs have a really good sensor for it. Your feelings of doubt and guilt are normal for any loving owner; it takes time for your heart to catch up with your head.

RIP Stella
 
I too have had to make 'that' decision. Its heartbreaking and my heart goes out to you..x
 
It truly is a heartbreaking decision, one that is always made out of pure love. So sorry, huge hugs x
 
Aw how sad, I'm so sorry for you, but you know this is the final act of love that you can give to your darling precious piggy, please try to keep that in mind as you hold her until the end...

Will be thinking of you xx
 
Rest in Peace My Baby

I miss you so much already, things just seem so much quieter without you. I can tell Maude is wondering where you are, she was looking in all the cuddle cups and hideouts. We're trying to cope together, spending time comforting each other. It was so hard to say goodbye, especially under such dark circumstances, but I believe that you found light somewhere else. I like to believe that you're somewhere with many more piggies, with your favorite treats endlessly available and grass to roam. I hope that you know how much you mean to me, and the love I have for you. You were a gift to my life. I have so many great memories with you that It would be impossible to forget you. I'll remember you forever. I laugh thinking about how you used to slyly try to take food from me and my friends, and sometimes you would just help yourself to my strawberries or watermelon. I remember hearing you run laps upstairs in my room and watching you too, just full of pure energy and joy. You were always enthusiastic for life and it rubbed off on me. I hope I gave you the best life you could have, even if it was cut short. Life isn't fair sometimes and we can't control our fate or the cards we're dealt but I know you don't think like that, you cherished every moment and I cherished every moment with you, as did Maude. I don't think this is goodbye, I think that we will all be reunited one day. I love you Stella.
 
Whee are so very sorry to hear about dear little Stella 8...8...8...
