That's heartbreaking to hear. I'm worried about my guinea pig and the
possibility of having her put to sleep because she might have an
internal cyst and also some kidney problems. But it must be so hard to
go through with having them euthanized.....you don't want them to
suffer in pain but at the same time you don't want to lose the guinea
pig you love so much.

I'm really sorry to hear about your guinea pig and hope she is at
peace now.
