Oh no! I'm so very sorry. She lived a great life with you.

Rest in peace, little one. You are loved and missed.

I imagine your caretaker is worried about a UTI. If you get antibiotics, Bactrim works well and will make you smell super sweet!

The vet gave me the Bactrim pink stuff, Lynx. And, she gave me some medicated ointment stuff for my skin. When my mom joked about diaper rash, I peed on her shirt.

Unfortunately, Princess Callie was also diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. She is already six years old, so I am not going to push for advanced treatment options. Just going to provide comfort care.

With so many senior pigs, I knew that I was bound for loss this year. March 1st, I took Rosie THE Bear to the vet because of bloody urine. Yup. Another bladder infection. Her xrays ruled out bladder stones. However, they revealed an enlarged liver. Since she was asymptomatic as regards the liver, we only treated Rosie THE Bear for the bladder infection.

March 15th, at 5:20p.m., Rosie THE Bear began crashing HARD. Time was more limited than I had thought. I held her, talking to her and gently patting her as I sat in my rocker. It was over within barely twenty minutes. (The nearest vets, who treat guinea pigs are almost 40 minutes from here)

I'm so very sorry about Rosie THE Bear. At least she was with you at the end. You gave her a good life.

Rest in peace, little one. You are loved and missed.

I'm also very sorry about Rosie. But I'm curious about why she was THE Bear and not just the bear?
