Fading Fast
He's had close calls before, but I think this may be it for our guinea pig Idaho. He's been fading quickly for the last couple of days and can't even be tempted by a yoghurt treat. Lisa's been syringing him water to keep him comfortable, but even that seems too much for him.
You know us: we have no problems paying for treatments for our babies, but Idaho is about seven and a half years old which is old old old for a guinea pig. Anything that might be done for him would only delay the inevitable. So if he's still around by the time we get home tonight, we'll be taking him to the vet to say goodbye.
He's the last of the half dozen or so piggies we've had come through our house and the first that was born in our care. He's lived his entire life under our roof and has always been friendly and comfortable with people. He's a good piggie.
I'll miss him so much.
