I Miss My Guinea Pig, my sweet Peach died yesterday Options

[bunnicula]

Hello all...

I joined this last night because I am SO upset over the loss of my little guinea pig...he was the sweetest little guy. He was fine and healthy his whole life with us, but seemed lethargic on Christmas. The day after, he was so sick we rushed him to the vet. But they couldn't save him. The worst is, they don't know why he was sick, what he had. There was just nothing they could do for him.

I miss him so much. I can't stand it. All I want to do is hold my little Peach again. My boyfriend was so upset over the news he cried (very rare occurence) and I was absolutely hysterical. I'm still a little in shock...my b/f was kind enough to remove his cage from my sight and stash it in the garage, but I keep looking over at his spot next to the window and I can't stand that I can't just go over and hold my sweet guy.

We're going to bury him today, have to go pick him up from the vet. I might just ask my b/f to do it all himself, since I'm so shaken up about all this.

Thanks for listening. I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday.

Katie,
I am so sorry to read about your loss. How old was your baby? Was he around any other animals that may have been sick?
He's in a much better place now. I know you miss him and it's very painful; please let yourself grieve as long as you need to. There's no set time limit on that; some people grieve for a few weeks or months, for others it can last years. Just know we're here for you, for anything. I hope you post a picture soon!
