This little pig Tommy( at our shelter ) was being transported to another rescue with 5 other guinea pigs last Sun.
He died during the car trip.
I helped to get the carriers ready for the pigs last Fri. They were taken from the shelter on Sun Morning to a town (Tomah)about 40 miles from here . The rescuer from Milwaukee was at a conference or something there so the 6 pigs werenot driven to Milwaukee until this Am.
They had to spend the night in Tomah in their carriers.
Ipacked hay and sent pellets to be given to them Sun night and bowls for them to drink out of Sun night, however, I did not reallyfeel good about this transfer.
I did not feel comfortable that they had to spend a night in carriers but it was a golden opportunity for transportation for them.
Now I just really feel sad that Tommy died; he probably was frightened to death from the stress of being in the car . I guess that he died sometime yesterday .
Iwanted you guys to know this so his little life would not be forgotten.
RIP Tommy ; I didn't know you long but you were loved.
