RIP dear Jasper !!

Today I had to take such a hard decision. My guinea pig Jasper was sick for more than a week now. He went to the vet 6 days ago, and the vet said he had to be forced to eat and drink. I did that, and he got a bit better at first.

However, today I saw he was getting worse really fast. I took him with me in the kitchen. Normally he would have run around like crazy. But not today :( . This is what he did:

He wasn't moving at all! I took few more pics of him. You can see how lethargic he is!

I couldn't stand see him suffer like that, so I took him to the vet again. What I was afraid for also happened: the vet had to help him to the Rainbow Bridge:( . I held him in my arms, telling him it wouldn't hurt... .He sqeeked one more time, and then he was gone.... :(

Poor Jasper, you are painfree now. Godspeed to our RB-Sydney. I will miss you so much.............

I made a "coffin" from a shoe-box: I decorated it with flowerprint paper, put Jasper in, and also lots of fresh flowers from our garden. This is a picture of him. It's just as if my Jasper is sound asleep....

I loved you so much, sweetheart....

Oh, I'm so sorry that Jasper is gone. What a wonderful tribute. I'm glad that you were able to be with him, though.

RIP little Jasper. At Rainbow Bridge you will meet a friend: Sydney. And he will be so happy to meet you:)

Lut, I am so sorry to hear this sad news.

What a lovely little box you made for Jasper. We know that he is at the Rainbow Bridge playing with Sydney and once again pain free and happy.

I am so sorry that you lost him.

Lut, I am so sorry. I missed everythign about him being sick. I know he is squeeking and playing at the Bridge.

Lut, I'm so sorry to hear about Jasper's passing.:( Now he can play happily up at Rainbow Bridge. RIP sweet Jasper.:(

Oh Lut, I'm so sorry you have lost Jasper. :( I know how you loved him. He's now painfree, I hope that will comfort you.

Rest in peace, sweet Jasper. Sydney will be at the RB welcoming you.

Oh, Lut I am so sorry to hear this. :(
Jasper could not have a happier life.
You made a lovely box.

RIP sweet Jasper, Sydney is here to play with you.:)

Oh no :( I am so terribly sorry honey! :( ((((hugs)))) He was lucky to have YOU in his life. If you need to talk or anything PM me or IM me. My thoughts and prayers are with you. R.I.P. Sweet Jasper :(

Aw poor baby.:( Our beloved pets have such a short time to
be with us here on earth. I'm so glad he had you to love him.

Rest In Peace sweet Jasper.:(

((((((((((((((((((Lut)))))))))))))))))

We cry with you.

I am crying with you, also, Lut. I am so sorry Jasper had to leave you so soon. He looks so peaceful now and is healthy and munching grass at the RB.

Rest in peace, sweet Jasper. Play nice at the Rainbow Bridge, where there are fields of the most delicious grasses and flowers, and rest easy, little one. The hard times are past, and now you are momma's little grey and white angel to watch over her, with her black-furred feline angel whom I'm sure met you at the gate.

Awww, Lut. :(

I cry with you on this sad day. :( Jasper was a sweet, adorable piggie whose life was too short.

RIP Little Jasper. :(

Lut, I am so terribly sorry to hear about Jasper. RIP, sweet guy.

I am sooo sorry. I missed all about Jasper being ill and I just found this thread through your crosspost in General. I know it is sooo hard to lose one so dear. Please remember now Jasper is happy and healthy and playing and running at RB with Sydney. They will keep each other company until the time comes to meet again their lovely mommy.

R.I.P. Jasper

I'm so sorry for your loss Lut. I've always greatly enjoyed seeing your precious little bundle Jasper, he was so adorable. I feel your pain, I too had to make the hard decision to put my little guinea pig to sleep a couple years back, I still miss him terribly. Little Jasper is now romping free at the Rainbow Bridge where he will wait for you... Rest easy little one.

Sending lots of hugs to you during this difficult time.

Oh Lut. :( I'm so very sorry to hear of the passing of precious Jasper. :( {{{hugs}}}

RIP Jasper. :(

Lut, I am so sorry to hear that Jasper has passed. What a beautiful tribute to him you have made. Godspeed Jasper.:(

What a lovely final resting place he has. RIP Jasper!

Lut, I'm so sorry about Jasper. :( May he Rest in Peace.

Oh, I am SO very sorry about Jasper!!!:(:(:( I remember when my last guinea pig, Marble, died in my arms, and how he just went from fine condition to sickly and then gone...it was sooo hard!!:( I know how you feel! Rest in peace dear Jasper!!:(

RIP Jasper

I'm so sorry. I was checking the thread in Pet Health, and was keeping Jasper in my thoughts.

Only 1 day now since you are gone, Jasper ! Already, I miss you terribly sweet boy :( I miss it when I don't here your "sqeek", I hate to see your empty cage, your food bag is still on the counter, etc.... . I MISS YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lut, he was a beautiful little boy. I'm so sorry that he has left you, but you made a very courageous and thoughtful decision. Sydney and Jasper are together again and watching over you and your family.
