Corrine,
I am so sorry. Your posts makes me cry. Please don't blame
yourself. I would also recommend a necropsy. I had one for my Flintster, and after
it was done, I felt a little better. I still blame myself for not getting
him to the vet in time for treatment or I felt if I would have never had him
neutered, he would still be alive today. But WE can't dwell on the
ifs, should'ves or could'ves.
Even if Cinnamon Bear was allergic to Metacam, there would be no way
of you even knowing that, things just happen. It is life. You didn't
want him to be in pain, so you wanted Metacam to give him, any one of us
on here would have done the same. I very highly doubt giving him extra
Metacam like you did caused any damage. You didn't continue to give
it to him day after day. Don't feel guilty about that. You did what you
thought was best. We all know you loved him dearly and he loved you
also. I bet he is at Rainbow Bridge looking down at you, sad to see you
sad, wishing you wouldn't blame yourself for his passing. One day when
you see him again, he will let you know that.
As for the vets being so cold, I, myself, would tell them where to
go. I wouldn't recommend you do that though, but I would mention it or
write a nice letter (as nice as you can) to them. Sounds like they just want
to blame you because of their incompetence in guinea pigs and they don't
have no idea what they are talking about nor doing regarding guinea pigs.
If you don't mind me saying and I hope Im not out of line by saying
this, I would recommend you go to your physician and have him prescribe you
some anti-depressants for a while (stay away from Wellbutrin though). We
care about you here and I know losing a guinea pig is very devastating.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Sad wheeks and lots of hugs,
Lisa and the Guinea Girls
Forever in my Heart, Cupcake and Flint
