This is definitely not a good week.
Talk about work, I feel really $&975*^5%#^%#%#& about it.
But until God tells me so to leave, I need to hang on.
What really made my heart break was on my guinea pigs. It has been a emotional run up and down...
First of all, I have gotten the guinea pigs from my fren whom creative school have to shift out from Mount Sophia. And moving into their new premises, they cannot keep pets. Thus I adopted three from them (Longblack whom is the mom and two younger ones), and of cos requesting them to be of the same sex. And they live happily together ever since, until...
4th Oct: Every morning, Longblack usually runs out from her small little hut to greet me or awaits for me to feed. But this very day, she hid in the hut and did not move at all. I noticed she is not her usual self and is not eating. :(
That very night I did their cage cleaning and found the other two keep humping Longblack. I decided to separate them first but realised the two keep chasing and humping each other. Thinking that one could be a male, I took out the "chaser" and the running stopped. Later putting Longblack in with the "non-chase". But later realising the other one keep disturbing her and she was squeaking for awhile. After much consideration and consultation, I've decided to separate them again. Leaving Longblack on her own, and the other two to chase each other for the night.
5th Oct: Longblack still not eating and not responding well. My dad ask if we should bring her to a vet. So after some research, I found a vet nearby my workplace and they open at 12pm and thus decided to head down. They only opened at 12.40pm and I met up with the vet whom explained quite a fair bit of things to me. And she also mentioned Longblack could be pregnant as she could feel two lumps on her. At this point of time, I was thinking how she could be pregnant?
If she's pregnant, does that means she will give birth to many? How would I be able to cope?
If she's not pregnant, then what are the two lumps on her body?
Nonetheless, I have to hand feed her with some herbivore supplement and Probiotics.
I brought her home at 2pm, and left for work again. And the whole afternoon trying to research...feeling excited yet nervous and also nervous yet excited.
By 6pm, I reached home. And I wanted to hand feed her again. But while carrying her to a tray, we realised there was some sac thingy in the cage. I immediately called and emailed my vet and realised she is giving birth now, and the sac looks like a prematured baby. *heartpain 1*
And soon after, she gave birth to another sac where she licked a few times but later leave it *heartpain 2* and another one came. *heart pain 3*
In total, she had a miscarriage of 3 babies. And this breaks my heart!!!
In the first place, I didn't even know she was pregnant. And don't even know that the two others were males.
I think I failed as a owner.
Though I really feel sad, but I know the next few days is to help Longblack to regain her health.
I've got to hand feed her and pray that she will get well.
It pains me to see her suffer, it pains me to know that she lost her child x 3. :~~~(((
Mummy Longblack is emo... Owner Lindy is emo too.
Lord, I just commit all these emotions to you. Help Longblack regain her appetite and health. Help us to get over this loss. I pray peace and restoration over her, myself and my family members whom also helped me to take care of her. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
