My Baby Bosco will be missed
I bought Bosco when he was around six weeks old and he was the cutest loving little pig. He was a dark brown and white teddy bear with a tan belly he had two white feet, one brown foot and one that was white with two black toes, he had white around his nose but he had one black nostril. I have allegies to them but i take medicine and everything because nothing can stop me from owning and taking care of guinea pigs I love them. So in October I decided I should get him another friend, I bought a 2x4 grid C&C cage and was so excited so I adopted another piggie which turned out to be a girl now i really wanted them to be together so i checked out a bunch of local vets and found a good one that has two doctors who are really good with guinea pigs and I had Bosco neutered. He did fine right after and then he stopped eating so i went back and they found out he got an infection so he was on medicine and i force fed him for a month and kept taking him back and then the infection cleared up and he went off the medicine he seemed really good he acted normal except he wouldn't eat so i took him back and they put him on medicine again. Then last Sunday, when i woke up i was lying in bed and i glanced over at his cage and thought its weird i didn't see him out of his cage a lot last night or this morning so I went over to the cage and took him house out. He was just lying there and the bedding was soaked with diahrea, i had taken him out at like 11pm to feed him and give him his medicine and he seemed fine and this was nine in the morning. He looked so weak and helpless so i got a towel and wrapped him up and held him crying for like a half hour cause i knew it didn't look good. Then I put him a box on my bed with me of course the vet is closed cause it was Sunday so I called 7 vet in the area and they were all closed and so i got a hold of an emergency vet that was an hour and a half away so i figured i'd take him i couldn't let him just ly there in pain so i drove there and the doctor came in and checkecd him and said he looked very ill but she didn't know what was wrong with him so i could either have her give him some fluids and take him home or he could spend the night there. Now it's really expensive and i paid over $500 in vet bills in less then two months but i loved him so much so i checked him in they were gonna give him round the clock care, incubator, fluids, food, medicine everything so i left and i told hime i'd pick him up in the morning i drove an hour and half back home and an hour later they called me saying he died I was and still am very upset it's been a week now and i still wake up expecting to see him he was only 1 year and 1 month old and its my fault all because i wanted to put him with the girl f i hadn't had him neutered he would probably be okay and i can't stop wondering if i made the right decision the only thing that grants me some peace is hes not in pain and i did everything in my power to help him after then fact. I hope whereever he is now he's ok. It's just upsetting because throughout this whole thing no one cknew what was wrong with him no one knew why he wouldn't eat.
