Farewell Zorro!

Yesterday, I had to let Zorro go. It was no surprise. I'd seen it coming. Her teeth were very bad again and she couldn't eat anymore. I had to hand feed her. She was always a fighter so hand feeding was no problem she even gained some weight. But not being able to eat by herself is no life for a guinea pig.

I took her to the vet to get her jaw x-rayed. Sadly, it turned out that there was no hope for her of ever getting better. Due to arthritic changes in her jaw there was a lot of bone growth. Amazing that she was able to eat with it as long as she did, little fighter, and so I let her go.

Good bye, Zorro, I'm going to miss you.
