We Are On Lock Down - Sudden Deaths

At this point Ruth I have to say that this simply has to be more than what it appears to be on the surface.
I just can not believe that this is an ordinary virus.
Clearly the care you give your piggies is over and above that which most piggies will ever know.
The speed with which you responded to the initial losses was astonishing, and no one at all could have done more to care for your remaining piggies.
If there was ever an owner who would immediately spot a problem with their pigs it is you.
I know is is impossibly hard, but try to be kind to yourself.
It is clear to everyone on this forum that something very bad and totally unavoidable has happened, and it could have just as easily happen to any one of us.
I wish there was more we could do.
I am so sorry for all of your losses.

We were all praying that your ordeal was over at last. There are no words really to let you know how we are all feeing for you at such a dreadful time.
Can't say ' be brave' keep your chin up" as we all know what a kind, caring person you are and there's nothing to help heal your broken heart.x

We've lost another 2 today :( been back to the vets. Remaining 4 check out fine but antibiotics have been extended to try and fight it. Everything has been tipped apart and soaked in f10 again. I wish i knew how else to fight it :(

Oh how awful. My heart breaks for you.
 
I just don't know what to put. I really thought the worst had passed for you. Thinking of you and the other piggies x
 
Oh no, I'm so so sorry :(
I don't know what else to say, sending my love and support xx
 
Oh my god, I'm so so sorry! My heart broke when I saw this thread had been updated :(

Sending as much love and strength as I have, I wish I had answers for you but I can only say that you're doing everything in your power to get this under control. You're amazing, please don't forget that x
 
Thank you everyone. I'm absolutely gutted. I can't take anymore deaths.
 
My heart goes out to you x Sending many hugs from my three piggies to yours <3 I hope that everything gets better soon. I can't imagine how you feel right now. Don't forget that we are right here to talk if you ever need it. Don't blame yourself - I lost a piggie due to parasites and worms not long ago and he showed no symptoms until it was too late - I blamed myself and it made me feel 10 times worse. You are such an amazing piggie mum and you couldn't have done anything better to give those beautiful piggies a great life. Sending plenty of hugs to you in this hard time :hug:
 
Oh no! That's absolutely terrible...
Don't know what to say...
I'm so sorry for your loss.
RIP your lovely piggies.
 
Oh my goodness I am so sorry :( I have a feeling there was something similar a few years ago & it was an extremely virulent infection :( You really can't do anymore than you are doing :( What terrible bad luck, fingers crossed the remaining ones will be ok xx
 
Oh my god. I am in shock right now. I'm so sorry for all your losses and I cannot believe something awful like this would happen. In my entire era of keeping guinea pigs I have only lost 1 piggy to pneumonia. My remaining single pig (we tried to bond her, but failed) now gets held to my ear daily and I listen to make sure her breathing is smooth.
 
Really cannot believe this. Keep fighting and hang on to the knowledge that you simply cannot possibly do anymore. You are truly devoted to your babies and are doing all you can. Hang on and do whatever you can to stay strong.
 
I just have no words for this, it is totally heartbreaking and insane. I really really hope this is the last of whatever this virulent virus actually is.
I feel tears in my eyes just reading it, so many beautiful piggies gone before time.
