My poor Bugs is in heart failure. After a year and a half of caring for her and fighting to care for her, I may be saying goodbye to my dumpster piggy. The vet said since that she is part of a herd, and she is well bonded, keep her comfortable, and let her go on her own. I like that idea because her and Oreo are attached at the hip since day one.

Thoughts are needed this time instead of healing vibes. I was also given the option of putting her to sleep but I chose to let her go on her own with the herd around her, where she will remember it rather with a vet (she don't really like them)
 
Lots of love and kisses and and comforting vibes to Bugs, i hope you are not suffering little one. Safe journey.

Really sorry to hear you are going through this Christina, it must be awful to witness. Big hugs

xx
 
Sending my best wishes for you & your piggies especially Bugs xx

I'm sure your lovely girl will be comfortable & loved with her guinea family right where she is. Just keep an eye that she isn't suffering or further vet advice may be needed. Are you helping her to have water to drink? Guineas are so bonded in a herd that it can be beneficial to them to see that a herd member has passed when the time comes.
 
It is hard to watch but I am keeping her comfortable and she isn't suffering, I believe it is better to be with her cage mates instead being put to sleep at a vet clinic. I am feeding her and giving water. Oreo is even helping with that too.
 
What a much-loved girl she must be :). It's a difficult time to go through, we had a similar situation very late at night on Christmas Eve morning last year. Hope you are ok xx
 
So sorry to hear this. Our thoughts are with you and Bugs. Massive hugs to you and love to Bugs x x x
 
I am hanging in there, she was my miracle piggy and now I am losing her. I wish I could do more but I feel putting her to sleep isn't the option when there is others that are attached to her. I worked super hard to keep her alive but I guess She won't see her second birthday which gets to me. I still want to hurt whoever left her in that dumpster for dead.
 
Aw hun, putting our little ones to sleep is something we all dread and never want to have to do, but sometimes it is the kindest thing we can do, if it continues for much longer i think maybe you should consider it, you can always put her in with the others afterwards ad they will see she has gone.

I am sorry if this message upsets you, i appreciate its a hard time for you, but she cant just be feeling relaxed, she must be feeling some discomfort and distress.

xx
 
This is such sad news. I really am so sorry for you and Bugs as well as her beloved friends.
 
Oreo is taking it really hard. She is so protective of bugs right now. I hope I will be able to take bugs away when she does go.
