Lost my beautiful boy Turbo on new years eve and it hurts like hell. Was only 18 months but had a huge tumour. I will miss so much the way you used to head butt me when I stroked the top of your head. You were a piggy with so much attitude! Hope there is someone to stroke you over the rainbow bridge. Will never forget you handsome.:(2013-11-24 16.06.00-1-1.webp
 
So sorry for the loss of your gorgeous boy, huge hugs to you.

RIP Turbo

Been only 3 days now since I lost Turbo and the days are so long, cant sleep properly and my god I cant stop crying. So many people do not understand how much he meant to me and how much time I have spent cuddling and caring for him and my other piggie Shearer in the last year. My 13yo son spends every waking hour in his room on xbox - which I accept is normal - but my piggies have been my substitute children.
I have so much guilt. I put him to sleep on the vets advice but yet now I feel like should I have done more ? Should I have insisted on a biopsy? Should I have got a second opnion ? Should I have brought him home and given him longer ? Was it my fault ? Did I give him something wrong to eat ? Was the hay not suitable ?
Its all going round and round in my head and feels like its choking me up. Guinea Pigs should not get tumours so young. I have said he was 18 months but re-calculated it & he was nearer 16 months. Thats not right and not fair on me Shearer and most importantly Turbo.
On top of all this I keep looking at Shearer , he is getting evey bit of love & treat I can think of but he so quiet. He has always been the noisy one !
Can anyone tell me how long I will feel like this ? Feel so devastated. :(((
 
You have just brought tears to my eyes again...I'm really sorry that you lost your lovely Turbo. It is very clear that you loved your boy very much and that you did what you thought was best at the time. The questions and "what ifs" will part of the grief you will experience for quite some time.

In December we lost one of our boys (the one in my avatar - Mielie) and today I felt really sad again and wondered whether he would have still been with us if I had taken him to the vet a day earlier...

Please do not feel guilty. It will hurt for some time, but try to stay busy and give Shearer lots of cuddles.

Thinking of you xx
 
I am ever so sorry for your loss. It is always worse when you can't brace for it; there is sadly no shortcut for grieving for a beloved one, whether it is human or pet - it is the other side of the love we shared between us. Turbo must have brought a lot of love and happiness into your life!

Sadly, cancer is something that can hit at any age, like heart failure or a stroke; depending on where it sits and how quickly it grows there is not much you can do. :(

RIP Turbo - I am sure that you are very busy learning to be a little guardian angel right now...
 
I am so so sorry for your loss. He looks adorable on the picture you posted.
There is a quote "Grief is the price we pay for love". To feel the way you do shows how much love you had for Turbo-pig. You did him the greatest kindness possible by ending his suffering.
We are all here for you.

Thank you so much for your kind words. You have just brought tears to my eyes too. You must still be grieving for Mielie so to take time out to send me your message really means alot.
I have faith in piggie nature but yours and other messages I have received restores my faith in human nature too.
Bless you and I hope Turbo and Mielie are popcorning over the Rainbow Bridge

That quote is so true and also " Better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all ". They both sum up the joy Turbo brought to me and I am sure the happiness all our piggie friends bring to the contributors on this forum.
Everyone seems lovely and the messages I have received are helping with my guilt and grief.
Thank you so much for your post - really appreciate your sentiment xx
