I'm so sorry you lost Milly. It is so hard to lose them, especially when they're part of the family for so long. You stood by her and did everything you possibly could for her, and I'm sure she knew it. Take care.

" ... but I think we made the last few months more comfortable for her."

I think you did, too. And that counts for a lot.

Godspeed and safe passage, Milly. You are very much loved and will never be forgotten.

I am new to this site, and am sorry to hear about Milly. I recently lost a piggy to bloat, I think, but he also had seizures for a few months(only 3 or 4 seizures). My Licorice was 8 days away from his 4th birthday, which is average I guess. I tried my best to save him, and feel terrible that I couldn't. He was our baby, a true sweetheart that kissed us all the time. He was a happy little guy! My heart goes out to you. It has been just over 2 weeks since we lost our Licorice.
We have 1 male left named Elmo, who is 2 years old. He has been depressed since he lost his friend, too. Good luck to you. remember all the good times you had with her. It does help a little.

tiggyswift, welcome to GL. Actually 3 (nearly 4) is barely even middle aged. Guinea pigs frequently live 6-8 years.

Consider getting a friend for your remaining pig.

(I'm not sure why you pulled up this very old thread?)

I was looking up information on chronic bloat, and found this thread. I guess my 2 pigs were unlucky with their health,if they were only middle aged. I have heard various ages for average life span. They both received great care. Maybe the breeder they came from had problems with her piggies health, but I am not sure. Anyway, I got a friend for Elmo today. He is my 2 year old I got from a shelter in April. Hopefully these 2 will fare better healthwise. I sure do love piggies! Thanks for the welcome.

Be sure to quarantine the new boy for 3 weeks if he came from a shelter or petstore.

I will. He is in his own cage. He appears healthy , just scared out of his mind right now. He looks great! I would have preferred to go to a breeder, but none in my area, and we needed a friend for Elmo. He will be alone for at least 3 weeks.
