I have 2 piggies, ones a full grown female, and the others a small baby female. woke up this morning and the big one wasnt moving, she died last night. I don't know what happen or how. I heard that they could get sick and it could be deadly, but whats gonna happen to my lil baby pig????? They were friends. I heard the big one sneeze once in a while but didnt think it was that serious. I guess it was.
ANY advice would be soooo great.

It's really hard to tell what happened to her, but guinea pigs will often pretend they aren't ill until it gets critical, so it's all about being in the right place at the right time so that you can rush them to the vet if necessary. You said that she was fully grown, maybe she just died of old age. Who knows? Did she get thinner before she died? Phone your vet, it doesn't cost anything to ask them what was wrong. Good luck getting over her. As for your other piggie, why not get another female that is more like her own age? I think she would love it!
My deepest sympathies, losing a pet is horrible.

Get the little Guinea to the vet quick. Respiratory illnesses are hard on them, from what I've heard. Hopefully, it's okay. You might want to invest in pet vitamins. I don't know how old the big one was and that might have been a clue. A vet might be able to tell you what the cause of death was, but probably too late now. Good luck.

The most common problem for guinea pigs is Vitamin C deficiency. Their bodies can not make Vitamin C. Make sure you are giving a supplement!

This has happened to my sisters hamster before.He had most likely died of a terrible cold.

...so, a little sickness without quick action might be the reason.
