Last Sunday morning I received a text message from my ex about Eetu, our guinea pig. The message was short: pray for Eetu, he is very ill.
Mom and I were, luckily, just about to leave for Middle Finland to our summer cottage and I had made plans with my ex that I would visit Eetu and Kasper on the way.
Well, we never made it to Jyväskylä when my ex called, crying, and told the news: Eetu had passed away.
My ex had called a vet, but before the vet called back, it was too late (back at the city where my ex lives no vet clinic is open during weekends) and Eetu was already gone. The diagnosis was: probably a heart attack. My ex told me that Eetu had been bit different during the past three weeks, but he only stopped eating (which is always a serious matter with guinea pigs and sign of dangerous disease or approaching death) the night before.
Few hours later I got to say my farewells to the little Eetu. He was already placed inside a tiny box and looked as if he was running to a better place without pain.
RIP my little friend.... I will miss you... :'( :'( :'(
