Hey! I’m uncomfortable because I’ve never done this before but I have a request. Could you maybe cross your fingers/send good thoughts/pray for my guinea pig Mia? She has been diagnosed with a tumor a few days ago. I’m going to the vet again tomorrow and I strongly assume that an operation is inevitable. I’m very scared for her because she is only 2 years old. She has always been sickly, though you would never guess by looking at her. She is very curious, loves to explore and has a very strong personality. And I want her to live a long and happy life!
I made this post in July 2019. The vet back then asked me if I wanted to go through with an operation or not. Since it would have been a very invasive surgery with small chances of success I decided not to. I chose to let her be put to sleep should her health deteriorate.
Today, December 25th 2020, this day has come. She suddenly became very listless and stopped eating so I took her to an emergency vet since most are closed because of the holiday. The (very kind) vet there then put her to sleep. We buried her in our garden.
She was my little fighter. Two vets back in summer 2019 told me that she wouldn’t outlive the following weeks. She lived another 1 ½ years. She had a very strong personality and I enjoyed every second with her. Her friend (my other guinea pig) Rita and I will miss her a lot.
