I'm very sorry for your loss.
It doesn't sound to me like you let him down at all! You loved him and he loved you to the end. And for the years he was with you, he was in a very tiny percentage of the luckiest, happiest Guinea Pigs on Earth.
If you feel you let him down because you didn't realize how sick he was and take him to a vet, well, you never know what might have happened. The vet might not have been able to make any difference, so it's very possible your mistake just meant he was able to die in his familiar, stress-free environment! It sounds like he passed as peacefully as a Guinea Pig can. |
