I know this is a rabbit forum, but there issomething I need to get off my chest. Earlier this evening, my guineapig, Sputnik passed away. While he was in my boyfriend's backyard, heran away. After my boyfriend searched for an hour, he found Sputty inhis neighbor's yard, lying down and not moving. He suffered from asevere head tilt. Sputty couldn't walk or move normally. He squirmedwhen he was being touched. My boyfriend called me shortly after and Iwent to his immediately. There was nothing I could do but I wanted tosee him one last time before he passes. Forty-five minutes passed byand I could no longer see him in this kind of pain so I decided to callthe vet's office that I am currently job-shadowing at to find out if itis possible for me to euthanize him myself. My co-worker Donna saidthere wasn't much I could do but to bring him in to the office. So Ibrought him in a shoe box with bedding to keep him as comfortable aspossible. The vet placed him in a tin box with cotton pads drenched inether to knock him out. I don't know how I got through watching. I wasstill in shock. I couldn't believe he was gone. He was only a fewmonths old. I stayed for the euthanasia process which was hard for meto watch but because I am interested in studying veterinary sciences, Ifelt it was best for me to experience this. I don't want to get intodetail on what the vet did but it was heartbreaking. The last time Ifelt this much guilt was when my dog was put down last November.
Sorry, guys but I am just extremely saddened and wanted to share itwith anyone who cares. And I wanted to thank those who postedinformation on head tilt. I learned a lot even though I couldn't domuch with Sputty.
