I can not describe how heart broken I am right now.
Bliss was fine two hours ago. She was eating and drinking, she was relaxed and even shoving her face into the same bowl as Gidget. Things were fine. And then my boyfriend comes bursting into the room and says she is on the floor twitching. We get her in a carrier and are at a vet in less than 5 minutes but 10 minutes later she was gone. We have no idea what happened. Matt said she screamed and ran from the food dish to the side of the cage and just started twitching. None of the other pigs touched her, she was whimpering the whole way to the vet.
The vet said there wasn't a mark on her so she wasn't hurt. It was just a freak thing. She would have been 3 in November. I never imagined we would lose her this soon. Bliss was my first guinea pig, she was beautiful and sweet and just adored her cage mate Nina.
Right now I'm sitting here remembering the day a receipt slid from the kitchen table into her cage. In the time it took me to set the mail down Bliss had claimed the receipt as her treasure and when I tried to take it back she hopped her way to the back of the cage, receipt firmly between her teeth and head held high, proud of her most amazing find. She wasn't very happy when I took it back the silly little thing.
She has many friends waiting for her. My heart is broken but I know she is somewhere that she'll never be in pain again.
I miss her so much already.
Rest in peace Blissy. November 2010-August 16th 2013
