Hello, sorry if this is in wrong place but I couldn't see an introductions thread. I had to have my sweet coronet guinea pig, Willy put to sleep on the 11th of this month. I have been struggling so much with guilt. I spotted some signs that he was not ok but was unsure because I had to change their routine around that time and wondered if it was just stress from that. I think deep down I knew he was ill but didn't want to admit it, so I jumped at an alternative explanation. He got very bad quite suddenly and emergency vets couldn't save him in the end. I'm staying strong for my other piggies and I have certainly learned a lesson about being safe rather than sorry but sadly that won't bring Willy back ????. |

Hello Denise,
I am sorry for your loss of Willy. Bless him. Guilt is one of the most common - and sadly unhelpful - emotions after pet bereavement.
