It was a crippling day emotionally today as we had to put our 5 year old guinea pig boy to sleep. Bucky had a disk slip in his back that left him crippled in the back legs for over 2 weeks, dropping his weight to under 1 pound. A guinea pig needs to be active and mobile and even more so, be with the other members of my piggy heard. Life was no longer letting him enjoy any of that. Will always love the little guy.
