So they wernt rabbits, they were guinea pigs. But these past few months have been the worst beetween me and the pigs.
First Darwin died of what we suspected to be seizures, I couldn't deal with it, he was young and I hadnt had him long (just under a year-ish) but the short time I had him was a whole new world with GP's and he was amazing. I cryed daily, I couldn't get over the fact my little guy had gone, only 1 wheeking little boy in a cage alone, Nevelle.
Nevelle died 3 days later, this shocked me, again I couldn;t deal with it, I guess I just didnt want to except it. I couldn't except it. A part of me was taken away, he was my first piggy and started my addiction I got concerned for the other two aswell, but a few weeks passed, the pain eased (hardly
) and I wasn't so worried about the other two (Basil and Billy-Bob) but there was something...a wrong feeling.
At this time our friend had gone to our local pet shop wich is owned by her friend, she was fostering a litter of Alpaca boars and they're mum. She adopted me one with approval of my mum, and he wasn't a replacement, he helped me through the tought times, kind of just like Nev used to and was named "Baby Jakey".
Well last night I found BB in his cage, on his side, dying. Why? not a clue - he died in my arms later last night, snuggled into my jacket with a heat pack under him. Then I woke up this morning, cleaned out the owls, the hawks, the ferrets, the parrot, the cat litter pan and then went to clean out the guinea pigs to find Baby Jake, dead in his hidey house - what? he was just eating a few hours ago?
I dont know how this has happened, but a few thing we guessed were - A, contaminated food? the problems started as soon as this bag entered the house. B, with all the rain/flooding could it be hard water? we tested the water and it was the same and C, something with the newspaper/bedding?
I have no idea, I feel useless and am hoping to take Basil to the vet for a check up if the vet isnt full. I am wondering if I should have a Necropsy done on Jakey or BB? anybody got any idea how much abouts it would cost?
Sorry for going on like this...I had to share it somewhere and other forums just tell me to go away, get offline and go to the vets ASAP.
:sad::cry4: Nearly all of the herd are gone now and I feel crushed.
