now Romeo - was ringo is dead (OT for some lists)

[Guest guest]

Yesterday my daughter's guinea pig Romeo followed Ringo. He was a

rather old pig and his condition deteriorated to where we did decide

to take him to the vet. It was hard to do but seemed to be the right

thing. I thought of Ringo when we left, and hope they are both

enjoying whatever comes after for a good little pig.

because I saw how labored his breathing was getting, despite how he

was trying to hang on (he'd even fought me last night to keep me from

shoving a syringe in his mouth to feed him *grin*). I was

considering taking him to the vet tomorrow or monday, but God took

that decision out of my hands. And in some ways, I'm glad he did.

It's not an easy decision to make.

Kris, I can sympathise with you over your loss of Romeo and Ringo. I

have had guinea pigs for many years and and they are such lovely pets.

That was a hard decision that you had to make, but done out of

compassion. I too have made that decision in the past and it is never easy.

 

Kindest thoughts, Margaret
