owww i know what that it like. only recently i was about to ring the vet and get my baby scruffy (guinea pig) put down. when i checked in the morning though, she had already passed away.

It was strange though. she had cancer under her chin so you could see it or feel it until it was too big. her strange breathing noises triggered me off. she wasnt in too much pain, because she was still chirpy and hungry. she must have passed away quickly.

angel, one of my other guinea pigs has cancer on her cheek. she is old, so surgery would not do much to extend her life. she doesnt seem to care about it at all though. it is huge, but because it is not internal, it is fine. maybe it is just some kind of a growth, not cancer. or the cancer is just not spreading. the only time she had a problem with it was when her sister dutchess bit her and she hit the cancer. must have nerves going through it cause she squealed so load i heard it from inside and came running. it was bleeding a little but i stopped it. if it starts causing her to be in pain or uncomfortable, i am taking her to the vet to be put down. i have never had to do it with any of my animals.

it would be a haard decision, because life just seems so sacred, but you dont want them to suffer either. I know when boof got sick, we all honestly thought he was gonna die. i still dont believe that he is alive sometimes. you have no idea how sick he was. seriously, it must have been a miracle, God must have heard our prayers. i just keep thinking, what if... the same thing happened to another one of my pets, but i put it down first. argh i hate it.
