We've had to have Hazel piggy put to sleep. She had what seemed like a UTI in October which responded to antibiotics. Then a few days ago she seemed to have similar symptoms (drenched in stinky urine, blood). She had an x-ray and ultrasound, as well as antibiotics, and was booked in for a spay on Monday, but she has gone downhill ever since. We decided today that she wasn't fit for surgery even if she could have been fit in as an emergency.
We got Hazel as a baby with Bramble. They were born into rescue, as their mum was part of a surrender from a hoarder, I think. It was lovely to have baby piggies again, as we hadn't had any since we started rescuing rather than buying. My husband named her Hazel, but I kept thinking at first her name was Nutmeg (for some reason!), so I always called her Hazel-Nutmeg!
Hope these pics attach OK. One is of Hazel in December 2021, so she was still quite little, and the other is from earlier this year when she was wondering why her best friend Molly was in a separate part of the cage after her spay. She just has such a cute expression on her face.

Hazel was a very cute piggy.
