My Guinea Pig just died

Hi all. This is my first time actually posting. My guinea pig Mikey just died on Christmas Day. He was loyal for 6 and 1/2 years. I really miss him. I was extremely attached to him. About 2 weeks ago, his back left leg became paralyzed. When we took him to the Vet, she said that Mikey had a tumor that was pressing on his spine. As the days went on, we gave him antibiotics, but he was losing his appetite. Also, he developed diarrhea and just wasn't the same. 2 days ago, he seemed to be doing much better, but then he became entirely paralyzed. I went to bed Christmas Eve night knowing he was in really bad shape and woke up and he was dead. Many people have dogs or cats, but I had Mikey since the 5th grade (I am now a junior in high school) This post has no real purpose but to let out my grief with others who will actually understand my attachment to such a cute little thing. It just feels so lonenly now and strange because I would take him out everynight at a certain time, but I no longer follow that schedule. I guess that after 6 and 1/2 years, it just is so sad that he was taken away so suddenly.

I'm sorry to hear about your piggie, and I hope that you will feel better about the situation soon. Take care.

May God give you the comfort and strength needed to get through your pet loss. I get attached to my pets as well, and when they die, it's like losing a close friend or relative.

Take care. {{Hugs}}

This is going to be a hard time but I have a feeling that he is looking down on you from GP heaven and smiling at you Just like my dog Bandit is doing to me.
