Male with bladder stone--need a good vet

- It started with Louie...
I am in tears, too. I am very sorry his is gone but at least he decided to end this long, hard battle on his own terms. Thank goodness you didn't have the make "that awful decision" for him. It sounds like his little body was shutting down last night and he finally drifted away with no pain or fright.
Your compassion for Peppi is something I hope every guinea pig could be so lucky to have. Please know in your hearts that you gave him a great life and we all share in your grief. Take care.

Emily and Vinod - I am just in tears to know that Peppi is gone. I hope you know, in your hearts, that you did absolutely everything you could possibly do for him. While he was unlucky to have problems with stones, he was so lucky to have the two of you and Chester to love and support him during this long illness.
My heart goes out to you guys. My pigs send kisses, especially Grandpa Henry, who knows just what Chester is going through right now.

I'm so sorry for you and your family to have lost little Peppi.
My heart aches with the wish that it weren't the way it is. I'm not particularly religious, but God bless you, your family, Chester, and Peppi. I genuinely hope that somehow Gilbert and Sully can now play with Peppi and all wait for us to join them one day.
Tears are shed around the world for Peppi, but perhaps our prayers have been answered. He went at home, in his place, with his family taking care of him, with his friend by his side.
So many of us never met you, Peppi, but we love you.

- For the love of pigs!
I, too, am in tears reading you beautiful tribute to Peppi.
I'm so sorry that Peppi is gone. I'm sure, though, that spending his last hours at home, in a warm cozy, knowing that you and Chester were there loving him, was the best, last gift you could have given him.
He was lucky to have you with him on his journey. You gave him a wonderful life.

Thank you all so very much for your kind words. They have meant a lot. It was so hard washing veggies this morning. I knew I had to wash less, but somehow I ended up with the same amount I used to wash, and I just lost it. Peppi would always be waiting at the end of the cage, chewing the bars, and it was so hard to see that corner of the cage empty.
We've been trying to give Chester extra attention. He seems a little bored and sad. We put one of Peppi's cuddle cups that hadn't been washed since he last used it in the cage for Chester, and he's been sleeping in it. I hope that Peppi's smell will be a comfort to him. In a week or so, we will try to introduce Chester to Cedric. I'm not really ready for it, but if Chester needs company, I want to do it for him.
I'm feeling a lot of feelings of regret I didn't expect. I keep wondering, did I pet him enough? Did I hold him enough times besides when we were doing things he disliked, like wrapping his feet? Did he know how much I cared? I didn't think I would feel this way. I hope he knows how much he meant to us.
Thanks again to all of you. Many of your posts were so touching they made me cry, but they have been comforting.
