It gets really hard to write this as I think about the losses we have had this last year. First my beloved Jazzy (a yorkie) had a bad choke and taking her to the emergency vet She died three weeks later. I did have some time to let her go. Then one day I go out and our pet goat is dead. After that we got a big dog pup because my brother was moving out and taking his big dog with him. We wanted the dog for protection. We got the sweetest pup. She was lab/rott mix but she looked like a red doberman. She didn't bark much and understood the chickens and yard rabbit were off limits. She was great. She was 5month old and our neighbors gave her a tray of decon. I do know who it was as they had just threatened to poison our cats. So our beautiful Ruby died a horrible death because we didn't find the decon tray until a week or so later. Now fast forward to this weekend. Saturday morning. The guinny pig (again,I can't spell) Chrissy had been sick for a couple of days. A bit of background on Chrissy. I gave her to Jessie for Christmas 2 years ago. I hid her in the shower for a week before Christmas and Jessie had no idea she was getting Chrissy. She was the best little pig you ever saw. Anyway, I called a vet and if you think getting a vet for minis is hard. Try a guinny pig. Jessie and I get in the car and off we go with Chrissy not doing well at all. We get to the vet and as the vet was checking her she found she was brused from her chin to her tail. We have no idea how she would have gotten brused as she wasn't around other animals and no one other than Jessie or me even opened her cage. Well, the vet came in with a treatment plan. $300 of treatment plan and the vet still didn't know what was wrong with her. I looked at Jessie and I told her it was her choice to either put her down or try the treatment. I told her the money was not a problem. She chose the treatment. So the vet is giving pain meds, antibiotics, something to give her more energy. I don't know. I just had this really big bag of meds and a little pig. We were going out to the car and Jessie was having a problem holding Chrissy flat. By that time we were in the car.I reached across to help Jessie get Chrissy flat and she (Chrissy) had passed. It was so hard on Jessie (all 12 years of her). We went back in to the vets office and told them she had just passed. They were great and pre-paired Chrissy to come home. We made a spot for her in the yard as we did for Jazzy, Baby Goat and Ruby. I hope we can end this year with out any more loss.
Oh, on the up side, we have a wonderful Great Pyrenees/Bernese MT. dog mix that is 4 months old and is about 4-5" taller than the seat of the sofa.She takes a lot of love.
