My friend has me caring for her 6 year old Guinea pig, who once upon a time use to be mine. I had given Snickers to my friend after her guinea pig had passed from cancer and heart failure.
Anyways, after 3 years Snickers has developed a rather large tumor which was only discovered after I visited her a few weeks ago. She took her to the vet and got an xray confirming the tumor.
The vet apparently told her thay she could either euthanize her then or wait it out until it became painful to Snickers. She does not seem to be affected by it though she IS going bald all over and to me seems far less active. I guess that could be her age though.
Anyways, my friend is staying in a hotel while they wait for her new house to become available. She dropped off Snickers with all of her belongings EXCEPT veggies. She said she would bring them bh the next day. Its been over a week and she still hasnt brought any.
I have a garden so I've been giving her some tomatoes and some leaf lettuce but I need to go get some from the store since it's apparent that my friend isnt going to do it.
I'm wondering what sort of care, special food etc you all would recommend I give to a dying pig to make her final days more comfortable and happy?
I feel bad because she is in a small cage temporarily since I have huskies that would love to eat her, but will it hurt her if I handle her too much with the huge tumor?
Picture of tumor xray included.
Thank you all!
