Not Ranked. Helpful AND tactful post? : 0 I had to bring Baby back. | | First off, I'd like to say that I'm not quite sure I'm going to get another guinea pig again. I had Piggie for 5 years, and had to put him to sleep due to age related problems, the vet said it was the most humane decision I could make with him. Putting him to sleep KILLED me emotionally. He was my little boy.
I bought Baby from the same place I got him from because he was a great, healthy pig. I got her 8 days ago, five days after I lost Piggie just because I couldn't take the silence in the house.
This morning she was starting to act funny. I came home from work and she was almost lifeless. I'm not going to get into the drama that started with both me and my mother hysterical crying, trying to figure out who was going to put her in the carrier so I could bring her back. Both my mom and I watched so many family members die slowly, we just can't take losing any more people or 'things' although I consider animals people too.
I brought her back, they give a health guarentee.. On the way I think she was having seizures. But what I was very happy about was while I was there they called up the vets office to see if they could bring her in because it was an emergency and one of the workers was going to walk her to the office because she didn't have a car. The office is pretty far. And a while after I left I saw her leave with Baby, so it wasn't just a ploy to make me feel better, etc.
They also said I could call tomorrow to see how she was. I was refunded my money, however it wasn't about the money at all. I can't go through this again. I can't watch one more thing suffer. This is breaking my heart.
Thank you all, for all your help with the questions I had regarding her care. I really do appreciate it. |
