I'm really sorry that you've lost your lovely boy. My thoughts are with you. R.I.P. Grey. xx
 
I am very sorry for your loss; a sudden unexpected death always comes as such a shock and often leaves the loving owner with feelings of guilt. Sadly, guinea pigs can have heart attacks or strokes at any age and out of the blue.

RIP Grey
 
It is so odd, post mortem results were inconclusive, not one of problems found could have been the cause of her death according to vet's opinion: 2 ovarian cysts and a very minor infection somewhere (possibly, he thinks). Healthy heart and all the insides. Has anyone come across a sudden death when there was nothing wrong with the pig and she had excellent appetite, ate red bell pepper in the morning and then suddenly in the afternoon was gone in no longer than 5 minutes?
 
I am so sorry for your loss which is made worse because of the unexplained reason. I also had a post-mortem on my Alex. He had been ill with an eye infection but within a week of having treatment he just failed. Even the vet could not explain what was wrong with him when he had been kept in for syringe feeding. I was told his stomach was just full of gas and there was no sign of food. The post mortem was "inconclusive". This is not what you want to hear when you just want answers. It does not make the loss easy and as you say it has left me with a feeling of what did I do wrong. But as others have said it is not unusual of a guinea pig to go quickly. I still have Alex's cagemate who is still thriving. My vet said I was just unlucky. But what I can look back on his that Alex was extremely happy whilst he was healthy = and I try an concentrate on that positive aspect. I had the pleasure of caring for him and I knew he had been happy when he was healthy. Again I am so sorry for your loss.
