I am feeling very sad today because I had to have one of my guinea pigs put to sleep this morning. :cry:
He was only 18 months old, a tricolour abyssinian. He was very subdued and clearly not himself yesterday bedtime so I kept in him in a travel crate in our 'spare' bathroom overnight. This morning he was having fits. The vet told me to bring him straight down but when she saw him she said the kindest thing would be to help him on his way. I am feeling bad enough but his cage mate, Teddy, is squeaking relentlessly today. It is heartbreaking. They weren't actually litter brothers, Teddy is a rex who is totally blind, but they were in the same cage at the petshop and I have kept them together since they were tiny babies.
RIP Tonto, we all miss you.
