I don't know why, but my guinea pig, Diamond, died in my arms today. She is about seven years old. Last night, I fed her and her friend, Dizzy, a carrot and some cut up celery. She is usually perfectly fine with those things. I'm aware that carrots have sugar, so I don't feed those to them often. But it was just one carrot. I woke up, and pet her, but she didn't move. I freaked out, and my mom said she was dying. Her heart was slow and she didn't move much. I held her all day until we were leaving to put her asleep, then she gasped, and died in my arms. I don't know what happened, and I'm devastated. Can somebody tell me what might've happened to her? Or was she just old? Plz help!

julzgirl1028, I am really sorry about your guinea pig. I know what its like to loose one and its truly sad. Your guinea pig was pretty old, their lifespan is about 6-8 years I believe. My first guinea pig passed away at 7 years too. One thing you should know is that guinea pigs can deteriorate really quickly. In a matter of hours they can go from completely fine to dead . My first guinea pig started to not intake food about one day before he died, not giving enough time to even schedule an appointment with the vet! I really don't think it was the carrot. You really won't know exactly what she died of if you don't get an autopsy. Just know that you really could have done nothing to save her, and that it wasn't your fault that she died. She was an old piggie and probably passed from natural causes. Hows Dizzy dealing with the absence?

Thank you. Dizzy is dealing okay. She is even more skittish now. I caught her looking under the litter box, (which she never does!) And she was looking over the carbonated plastic and squeaking around the cage. It almost made me cry!

oh my . I remember my first guinea pig doing that. However, when the second one died, we allowed the other guinea pig to smell the body so he would know that his friend was gone. It's good to do that if the death was quick and unexpected.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Unfortunately, guinea pigs don`t live long - up to 8 years max...the reason isn`t the carrots, it`s an absolutely harmless product for these animals. The reason was that she lived all nature gave her... Your post was written quite a while ago, so hopefully, during that time, you were able to come around and find a new pet friend. I can also suggest a great resource with a lot of useful info on pets. It’s called pawbility.com, I believe. I’ve had a similar experience. My sweet Monica passed away. But I clearly understood from the get-go that 10 years was the best I could hope for. more than 10 years.
