This sucks so bad...
There's a guinea pig rescue that I keep track of because they're fairly close to where I live. One of their rescues, Squeakers, was returned because he needed mouth surgery that his family couldn't afford (Their teeth continuously grow. Normally they can ground them down themselves but sometimes they need correction if something happens that interferes).
He just ended up passing away. Since they're prey animals guinea pigs hide any illness/injury the best that they can so they had no idea his condition that bad. Squeakers died in her arms and it just reminded me so much of my little Scuzzy.
