[Gpdd] [RAINBOW BRIDGE] Condolences for Tubbs

[DebJonSara at aol.com]

Jem, Crockett, George and Fletcher
 
We just wanted to pass on our sincere condolences on your loss of Tubbs. It  
sounds as though your vet was not very experienced with guinea pigs, and we 
know  what that is like as we have the same problem here. If there are other 
vets in  your area, it would be worth ringing around to find one that knows a lot 
about  cavies before your next emergency. We don't have that option here in 
rural  Northwest France, so we use the DSN (Digest Safety Net) on this forum's 
home  page, or GuineaLynx, or indeed, we telephone Cavies Castle in the UK for 
advice.  It sounds as though Crockett may need some veterinary attention, if 
he also had  the diarrhoea and is still not eating - little cavies are much 
too good at  hiding their illnesses until it is too late. 
 
We are sure Tubbs knew how much he was loved, and he is now free from pain,  
popcorning in that luscious meadow beside the Rainbow Bridge, waiting for the  
day when he will be reunited with you all again. 
 
May it bring you some small grain of comfort to know that people across the  
globe understand how bereft you are feeling, and are sending you hugs
 
Debbie and the 13 Dolly Mixtures
