Hi. I'm writing this at 4 AM my time because I can't sleep, a full anxiety attack driving me insane. My beloved guinea pig has mammary cancer and the tumor's been growing considerably - doubled in size in a matter of days, and now she's limping, dragging herself to walk. She's still eating and drinking water, but this worsening of her situation has made me think that maybe the time for putting her to rest in a dignified manner through the vet's methods has come.
But God, I'm so unsure. It pains me to realize I'm sitting here, looking at her, and trying to decide if she's going to live another day or not, and she has no idea of it. My wife has depression (I have it too), and also deals with anxiety. She seems to be affected by our piggy's worsening condition, and honestly, the emotional impact our piggy's suffering is having on us is making me consider euthanasia more than before.
Are there any words or comfort you guys can offer me? I'm just... I feel broken and very, very confused.
