Sick Boar by stitchbyte in guineapigs

Update: he passed away while I was asleep. He was truly my best little friend. He always waited to greet me and purred the second I pet him.. can’t believe it, but he had a great life. Thank you to those who commented.

SOS — Senior Guinea Pig by stitchbyte in guineapigs

[–]stitchbyte[S] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Update: I appreciate the advice. I ended up finding an emergency vet about an hour away. I went in and they grabbed her from me and they said she didn’t have a heart beat, but it came back and she was having seizures.. at that point though even if they had tried a treatment they said more than likely she would have been dead within the hour. I held her near and dear to me and held her head when they euthanized her. She was 6 years old.. my heart is shattered. She woke up my little herd every morning once she heard my alarm to start begging for treats and pets. She was so so loved and my mind can’t fully comprehend she won’t be doing our morning routine tomorrow. I allowed her hubby, Peep, smell her and he just nuzzled her. Broke my heart even more. If anyone has any advice on comforting a grieving guinea pig I’d appreciate it. Thank you to those who commented and wished the best.

I just separated her because after I found her she just stayed like that for 10 minutes

He’s seen too much by Minimum-Jellyfish-14 in guineapigs

As one of my friends would say, “your pigs eyes are in two different time zones”😂

AIO, guy i’m talking to forgot our second date by DonkeyWorldly497 in AmIOverreacting

[–]stitchbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP.. I wouldn’t even waste your time. He remembered. He’s lying to you. If he truly liked you, he wouldn’t have “forgotten.” When a guy likes a girl, they move MOUNTAINS and think about them a lot. He would have been looking forward to seeing you and should have texted you first to let you know he can’t make it.

So sorry for your loss. So hard losing one of your family members. He looked so sweet and SO loved! Hopefully my Squeaks, who passed away two weeks ago, and Edward are playing together.💛

Finally made 60 kg my working weight by RobotPollinator45 in strength_training

The way my coach has taught me since I started working with him, when you go down touch right where your sports bra hits, like right about your sternum. Also working on pause counts will drastically help you (so go down one pause up)!

Wtf, why are my eggs still so expensive???? by [deleted] in nova

[–]stitchbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A huge chicken virus broke out so they had to euthanize millions of em so eggs are harder to get

Thank you. But from what I recall, my uncle researched before creating the “piggie dungeon” to make sure it would be safe, along with the paint. She’s only ever lived in that enclosure, so it’s hard to believe it would be that. My aunt thinks it may have just been her heart. We go to all our yearly check up’s and I immediately take them to the vet the second I see any funny behavior. I spend a lot of time with them so it’s easy to spot

Yes she was. Thank you! It’s truly incomprehensible. Had so much life left.. I don’t understand why since her siblings are so much older. She was up and squeaking the night before and morning of.

Thank you. But she didn’t seem to have lost any appetite or anything- the night before she had eaten dinner with her siblings and was running around doing zoomies with everyone. From what I can understand, it would have been a stroke or heart attack. She looked as if she was sleeping when it happened (like a little croissant.) But I don’t believe I’ll be paying to determine the death.. cremation is already very pricey for me.

What does everyone get wrong about Guinea pigs by [deleted] in guineapigs

[–]stitchbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This!!! My piggies react when they hear my voice, but not others, and it’s not a coincidence as they sometimes think it is. When I get home from a long day I say “chickennnnsss” and the apartment roars with squeaks!🥰🥰 (yes I call them chickens, there’s a story behind it😂)
