Sad Moments in Life

My guinea pig is sick. Not "she has a cold" sick, but something serious. I have to try to find a vet who will treat her (most don't see guinea pigs), and I'm not very hopeful about how she will fare. I can't believe how upset I am over this little pig, who doesn't even like me very much. But I can't stop remembering how she used to cuddle up to me and lick my chin when she was a baby.

UPDATE:

I took her to the vet on Monday. We are treating it as an infection, but chances are good that it's really a tumor. Poor baby - I have to wrap her in a towel twice a day and feed her stinky antibiotics. Fortunately she either likes the taste or doesn't know how to "spit out". Maybe, just maybe, she seems a bit better, but, I've learned in the past not to "hope" too much!
