Things can dramatically change. Phone call from vet on a Sunday us never good. Isabella x ray showed the stone they could not remove had grown since Friday plus when they reduced meds she was in so much pain that they did not expect. Think I may have to let my Isabella go rainbow bridge
 
This is not the news we wanted. Do they think her pain may subside in a day or so? Just ask yourself if you think she may improve given more time, it's hard to know when is enough for them so I ask myself if I would wish I had waited a little longer for that just in case she starts to recover. When my Dove wasn't going to make it I knew that morning, the light just wasn't in here anymore and I felt at peace with my decision.
I'm so sorry to hear about the stone as well. Just pray and spend some time with her when you can so tiu can make the right decision for you both.
 
Oh I am so sorry to hear this.

The greatest gift of loving her is to make the decision to let her go if she is in so much pain with no chance of that changing.

It is never any easy decision to make but one which is needed if she is unable to carry on.

Our love and thoughts are with you both at this time. xx
 
I'm so sorry. Poor angel. It sounds like it would be the kindest decision for her. Have they said when you need to decide by?
 
I have to ring them 2:30 tomorrow I need to see her tomorrow cos had not seen her since a couple of hours after her op.
 
At least they will be able to keep her on high dose pain relief until you see her.
 
My son 14 wants to hold her while she is put under. He ha had her in his life since 8

I think it is beautiful that your son wants to hold her.
He much have a very special bond with her, and I think it is lovely if he can be involved so closely in her final journey.
 
What a wonderful son you have. You must be very proud of him. He obviously is such a kind and loving boy.

That is the greatest act of kindness to hold her and tell her you love her while she passes over the Rainbow Bridge.

My love and thoughts are with you all at this time xx
 
My little Isabella decided she had to leave for rainbow bridge in the early hours of this morning. Her vet called me at 6.01 to let me know she had passed away. Her little body could take no more . RIP baby girl
 
I am so sorry to hear this.

I hope you and your son are ok. Big hugs to you both at this sad time.

RIP Isabella. Popcorn free now xx
 
Today we collected Isabella from her wonderful vets. They took £500 off the bill, could not believe it.


We buried her with her sister in are memorial garden and will order a memorial pebble from churchyard angels who do lovely pet memorials. I cant thank the vet enough for all they tried to do and the care they gave her Animal Ark vets in Goodmayes Essex are a great team
 
Wow that is so wonderful, it's great to find a team that truly cares to help more than simply take a fee. What a wonderful way to end a tragic tale.

That is normal - you really feel it after a big battle when your grief, lack of sleep and the blues that come when your adrenalin runs out combine to make you feel really low on all counts, physically, emotionally and mentally. Make sure that you give yourself time to rest, recover, to grieve and to heal in its own time.

Take your time and do it whenever it is right for you, whether that is in a few days, a few weeks or months or never. The option is there, but it is no must. If you wish you talk about your feelings and would like some support, please pm me.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss- you definately fought hard for her. Sleep tight little one xx
 
Thank you all for the support. Isabella come home yesterday and we buried her next to her sister who passed away in 2014. So proud of my son who wrapped her in her favorite fleece and laid her to rest.Hard to believe that my profile picture of her was only taken last Wednesday. This is how I will remember her cheeky, and funny.
 
I would like to thank everyone on here that gave me advice and a listening ear when my little Isabella was poorly.

I know a lot more now about diets, stones, urine infections and ovarian cyst and this can only be of benefit for the next time. There will be other piggies, but not yet. My heart is broken and one day it will be healed enough to go rescue another guinea pig pair.

I think next time I will look into insurance as well. For the moment my son and I have ordered a special frame to put her picture in and just going to enjoy some fun times and make her garden as beautiful as possible. she is buried where the sun hits the garden in the morning.
