Whity is a texel guinea pig which I adopted from clover couple of yrs ago. His head is tilt, without a ear on his left and lost 2 toes on hind leg. According to clover, his mum attacked him after he was born, so sad is it. so i adopted him, a few months later, i adopted his bro, as i caged them together. As he is disformed, his front teeth need to be trim monthly. Recently as usual, i bring him to trim his teeth and ask dr ling to weight him as i found that he had lost weight. after examined, dr ling said his back teeth might be overgrown and the only way is to have surgery but beco of his head tilt, she said is very dangerous for him. So I was given some medicine and hand feed him critical care daily. he seems to be recovered a bit but never expect a few days before 13 Nov 04, when i was feeding him, he keep holding my hands and rub his face when he walked pass my legs. Whity never has this kind of behaviour. On the 13 nov 04, after feeding him at 7pm, i found that he got breathing problem so immediately i called up dr chan. she said there is nothing can be done now, just hope he will recovered by feeding him the medicine. I been with him all the time and holding him. at 9.45pm, i put him back to his cage, and he walked to his favourite place in his cage n suddenly he stop breathing at 10pm. I never expect him will go to heaven so fast. Waited for my hubby to come home at 12am, we both carry his body and buried at a place downstair our house. Everyday i will visit him twice, hope that he really happy in heaven, no longer need to suffer the pain of his teeth
