For those who has been reading, i believe you'll know gremlin my second chinchilla the one that has had a number of health issues.

Gremlin passed on last night at 07:58pm at the animal doctors. He has been such a strong boy. I spoke to people in singapore and they do not know why. Or has not heard of this before.

Basically, gremlin was fine. Three days back he still wasnt taking hay. I called up a couple of people qnd they said to take his pellets away and gibe plenty of hay. Which i did. The second day, i saw him eating a lil bit. He was very hungry.. This boy loves his pellet. He always eats none stop. Hahah

Late night, i found gremlin acting a biy weird. But i tough he will be ok. Perhaps just tired. The next morning, i gave him pellets he wasnt interested. Water didnt move. He didnt wake me up by barking. I got worried. Took him out and he was so weak. Suddenly he had a seizure couple of seconds. I rushed him to the vet. Vet said he is in critical stage. And survival chances are slim. Be prepared.They gave him drips and oxygen. Then his situation improved tremendously. He was eating hay and grooming himself.

The following day the clinic reffered me to a specialize in small animal clinic. I brought him the supposedly he was ok. The doc there said they would like to observe him. That was about 12noon. Ard 4pm they called to say he stopped breathing a while but he started breathing again. Then je was given oxygen.

All of a sudden, at about 7plus pm when i reached the clinic then i was told he had just stop breathing. They were trying toget him back but to no avail. Thats when i saw him leave.

It was and sti is so painful. I cant believe his gone just like that. I've been visiting him up and down At the vet. He kept wanting to sit near me. The nurses said he tried to bite thm haha.

Gremlin's gone and iam doing a privatr cremation for him. I think thats the last gift i can do for him. Terribly upset. I dont know what to do? I miss him i really do. Its so painfulz. Afterall, i've got two other chins but his the closest to me. Always wanting to be with me..
May he rest in peace.
 
Its so devastating, iam sorry guys if i didnt explain fully. I' just so tired. I couldnt sleep. The feeling is unexplainable. People laugh thinking i'm crazy cause i'm so upset. To me go to **** with people like that. Gremlin was and still is the closet pet to me. The first pet or thing that has ever passed on. I wished singapore has a bigger chin comitee and more clinics which specialises in chichillas. Its really so devastatimg.
 
I am so sorry for your loss. Poor Gremlin. It sounds like you did everything you can. And those people laughing at your loss have obviously never cared for any living thing or person who has ever passed on. I can totally sympathize- I will be a mess when any one of my furries go.:cry3:
 
I am so sad for your loss. It's too bad you couldn't get any answers as to what was going on with Gremlin. The not knowing can make it even harder. We understand your pain...may he r.i.p.
 
I know. This is the only place i can write about gremlin. Thank you so much for the support. I know he will be happy with no more pain and sufferings. And he will be very happy.
 
Your post made me want to cry, and give you a hug! :( I am so sory for your loss. RIP, Gremlin!
 
Thanks again ppl. It's so sad. I'll have to give this baby the best tgat i cld. Spent sometime with him before he gets cremated... In 3 hours time.
 
Oh bless you! Your post made me so sad, you obviously loved Gremlin and he was very lucky to have such a loving owner. Take care xx
 
Thank you all. Yes he will rip. I've got his urn with me which doesnt make it so bad. But it was so painful.. Unexplainable. Bought him roses and did a small coffin for him. Haiz.. Its weird not having him ard. No kisses no bugging me of treats. No begging me to take him out. No one barks cause he is hungry. No mess that he always creates for mw to clean. No gremlin is like my bestie has gone. Nothing i say will be able to explain this unbearable pain. Saw him into the oven. Gave him a long letter which i wrote.

When they were burning him i stood there and cry. There wasnt anythinh i could do. His body was frozen. And all i could do was hug him. I know the letters, roses and. Offin will be burnt but after all thats what always gave him peace. A part of me, the lords prayer and a comfortable bed...

If only you guys were there...:(
 
Does anyone dream of their chin?
He has been appearing in my sleep. Very weird in fact. i still miss him a lot.
i'm looking for another chin to adopt but here in sing it's all so expensive. Anyone has any ideas? my current two chins are forever in their own world nothing compared to my dear one.
 
:( I guess the only thing you can do is wait for the right chin to come along. I don't know anything about chins in Singapore.. My thoughts are with you..
