a sad announcement...

today is a sad day for me, i had took my two new piggies for their check-up before i introduce them to the other two i have. :| somebody in my home left the window open in my room:| , and a stray cat crawled in and attacked my girls . they fought the cat back, but my oldest lost the battle :( . by the time someone heard the noise coming from my room. the cat dove out the window, leaving "big momma" (my oldest piggie) dying from blood lost, and her daughter in the corner with a gash on her side. my brother rushed them both to my vet, i was shocked when i heard the comotion in the waiting room, he told me what had happened. the mom died on the way to the hospital and bonnie (the daughter) died a couple of hours later, she had lost too much blood. i am so mad, i had told everyone at my house not to open my window, since there's alot of strays where we live (alot of them pregnant and very hungry) and since i live on the first floor, its easy for them to hop on in. my vet is making arrangements to have them both cremated and i am going to have part of their ashes put into a tiny urn chain and the rest in a regular urn so they'll always be with me, waiting for me at the end of the rainbow bridge.
 
Re: a sad announcement...

Thats horrible. My deepest sympathies. :eek: :(
 
Re: a sad announcement...

I'm so sorry, I'm sure you have lots of happy memories of your girls. I've lost count of the number of close shaves our piggies have had, doors left open etc. I hope you can forgive whoever left the window open.
 
Re: a sad announcement...

That's so sad. I'm so sorry but it's nice that you will be able to keep them with you. Such a nice thought
 
Re: a sad announcement...

thank you everyone :) . after i got back form the vet hospital, my mom confessed she opened the window since the air conditioner vents weren't working in my room and she didn't want my piggies to over heat, but she had forgot to put the window screen on the window. at first i was really angry at her after i've tolde her countless of times not to open my window because of the cats in the back yard, especially around this time of the year when kittens are born, but i was able to forgive her since she was only looking out for my babies health. i had the girls cremated together this morning, and i have the urn with their ashes on my dresser so that they're close to me all the time, they didn't have anymore of the chain urn's (i'm upset about that) but they're in my room together where they'll always be safe. my other two girls noticed a change, no wheeking coming from the other side of the room :( .

Guinea pigs are very aware of when things happen to their pals. Keep a close eye on your remaining pigs to ensure they are eating and active.

I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry I haven't got a guinea pig yet. I'm getting one in december. I hope that that will never happen again. I am so sorry for you. :(
 
Re: I'm so sorry

:( That is so very sad. :( I have been letting my guinea pigs excercise in a raised garden outside lately, since the weather has been nice. We have a lot of stray cats around also, and I don't leave the garden for one minute. All 12 are closely monitored and I even keep a stick with me to scare off animals who come up.
 
Re: I'm so sorry

oh i am so so sorry. at least you know they had a good life while they were with you :)
 
Re: I'm so sorry

Oh my MommaCavy... I know you were so looking forward to introducing them too. I am so sorry! (((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))
