Maria died today. She made a gagging noise so I looked in her cage and she started twitching and I took her igloo off her and I petted her thinking she might be having a nightmare and she didn't respond. I rolled her over a few times and she didn't respond. Usually she would have been freaking out and getting angry. She started gagging again and I took her into a towel and held her and she smelled so horrible and had thrown up on herself and soiled herself. Her eyes were all milky and crusted. I held her and cleaned her up and sang her favorite song to her and she passed when the song ended. I looked on the food my parents had been recently buying for her and there was no vitamin C in it, so I'm pretty sure it was scurvy. My parents bought that food because it was the cheapest. Her patch of bald skin was probably caused by that too. :0 . My old dog had a similar story, my parents didn't want to spend money on her so she ended up with many tumors and died.
I haven't been active in a long time but I figured I should let everyone know what happened. I've only had her about 3 years since she was little.
She was the best quirky guinea pig I could ever ask for. RIP, my maria.
