Hello, She was 2 and three quarters years old. I knew her from the first day she was borned. One day she was weird, She didnt eat, drink.. She walked really weird and a little and her head was like on the ground. We visited vet and vet gave her vitamin e and slop (water eat, I dont know how to translate). We tried to feed her and give a drink with syringe. She was weak, but we thought she will be alright. Two days on it, she lied on one side and she dont walked. After hour and few minutes she died. I really dont know why she died and I'm really sad. I'm thinkin on her every time, I made her a memorial and more. If you know what could be cause, write there please. Bye and take care of your piggies.
 
I am very sorry for your loss! It could have been a stroke or a heart attack and it sounds like your girl has then gone into organ failure and her body has closed down, but unless your vet does a post mortem examination, you will unfortunately never know. All we can do is guess.

Please take a look at these guides here. You may find them very helpful if you have another sick guinea pig that stops eating and you can learn the English words for what you have been doing. This won't help your poor girl; but it will hopefully make you feel a bit less helpless in the future!
You are a very caring piggy parent and are welcome to post a tribute to your girl in our Rainbow Bridge section if you want to have somewhere to remember her and your love for her.

I'm really sorry for your loss! Unfortunately, there is probably no way to know for sure. She may have had some sort of stroke or neurological problem if she was not able to walk or balance properly. ((HUGS)) and so sorry! It's always so hard to lose a pet!
