Who else has been heartbroken over the loss of their pet guinea pig?

Question

We lost our beloved guinea pig yesterday. He was 6 and a half years old and was lovely. He had gone off his food ten days previous and we had taken him to the vets who trimmed his teeth but He still wouldn't eat and passed away peacefully.

Im really sorry for the long answer !!!!

Answer 10

Yes, one of my sister's guinea pigs died at only about 1 and a bit years old. She was always a bit ill, with and eye problem and never really ate much food but it was still really sad.

The saddest part was that the other guinea pig is all alone and really misses the other one.  

Answer 11

aw i'm so sorry to hear that. my first guinea pig died last year, i had only had him for a year (we think he must have been a year or two old when we got him).

he died whilst i was on holiday, which made it even more awful as i wasn't there to hold him and cuddle him in his last moments. he had seemed fine before we left, but my aunt who was looking after him said that one day he started making strange noises, collapsed and had difficulty breathing. she took him to the vet who gave him painkillers, but he died that evening.

it ruined my holiday, i was so upset.

:'(

and it was awful when i got home, because my little piggy's brother was pining so badly. he became really quiet and withdrawn - he wouldn't come out of his 'house', and went off his food a bit. i soon got another guinea pig, and it really helped me, and our other piggy, to recover. he's not the same obviously, but you have to accept that they are all different with their own characters. i love him to bits. perhaps you should get another piggy to love?

may your guinea pig and mine RIP.

Answer 12

When I was quite a bit younger I bought a guinea pig (Rosie) which amazingly lived till it was 8. I was rather devastated when old age finally took her away from me because I had gotten rather attached to her. =[
