Swollen Genitals

I'm really worried about her.My Mum was syringe feeding her at half 5 for an hour and I've taken over but she is extremely weak and I'm really worried if she'll pull through x

Oh no! Is she taking the syringe food okay? When they are really weak I find syringing about 0.25 ml and then waiting about 10 mins and giving another 0.25 ml and so on.

She's not taking it as well as she was, she just chews a little bit or not at all.I'm syringing about 0.1ml each time and when she seemed to have swallowed I do it again x
 
I'm gonna carry on with as much as she'll take but if she doesn't.I'm wondering if it would be kinder to put her to sleep.I'm finding it very upsetting seeing her like this x
 
Really sorry to hear she has gone downhill. I know you will make the best decision for her whichever way that is x
 
furryfriends (TEAS) said:
If she really doesn't want to take it and she just looks weak, then I would definitely be considering letting her go. I am all for fighting when there is hope, but sometimes it just isn't to be, sadly. xx

It's a heartbreaking position to be in.

If you need to talk feel free to send me a message. I went through all of this last week and made the decision on Saturday too.

Love and support xx

It's normal to feel overwhelmed hun we love them so much it's the hardest thing in the world to see them suffer.

Deep breaths. Anxiety can be totally crushing I completely get it. It's ok to feel sad and heartbroken remember she is your baby girl and you're allowed to feel like this.

I know everyone says to stay strong for her but sometimes it helps to let it all out xx
 
@Gem789 I'm so sorry. It's so hard to watch. make her comfortable and take her to the vet at 9. Hugs xx

Thank you, it's heartbreaking.My friend has asked if I want her to come round but I've told her I'll be fine with my wine.I don't like crying in front of people.She knows that and she's not an animal lover but I feel touched that she's being so nice x
 
Just let it all out. Scream if you want to! Grief is a natural process and it hits everyone differently. Some people won't understand and say 'it was only a guinea pig!' but they obviously have not kept them before. Guinea pigs give as much back as you give them. If you love them, they will love you back just like a dog or a cat. Just because the animal is small it doesn't mean that you cared for it any less. You obviously adore your piggie. The more we grieve the more we loved and were loved.

That's very true, thank you.Its just so hard.My mum has just went to get me another bottle of wine then she's taking her.I'm just finding it so hard.I've even got my favourite Guinean pig out to try and cheer me up but it's not working x
 
Sorry to ask you this but has she been pts yet or has she passed? I was really upset when my first ever pet Nelson passed over the Rainbow Bridge. Everybody thought I was completely bonkers as Nelson was a duck but he was lovely and tame and had his own very unique personality so I know what you are going through. All us pet owners do huge hugs at this difficult time!:luv::wub:
