I am not at all certain but life has decided to take my second baby from me this year.  First my dear cockatiel pookie and now my 7 year old guinea pig Snuggles.  Snuggles lost a lot of weight but was doing well, eating, running about as well as he could being blind.  Then this weekend he was no longer able to walk on his front legs and was so thin, I can't feel much in the way of muscles.  The vet at the animal hospital isn't certain but thought that she felt a possible mass or tumor that may have caused this but his chances or surviving surgery were to low.  We had decided to let him go.   Rest in peace my sweet angel you were such a wonderful boy!

7 years is a long time for a guinea pig.  They can live up to 5-8 years. 

Who was Snuggles? Well he held to his name sake with a passion! If you wanted a piggy who would sit still and just snuggle with you on the couch, you needed Snuggles! He loved to snuggle.  Our other two boys will sit for 1-2 minutes then be eager to leave.  Snuggles would lay on you forever! He loved it. 

I will miss all the cuddles and kisses he gave.

Aw, your guinea pig sounds very cute, I'm so sorry for your loss. :c 
It will get better! :hug: At least the pain is over for Snuggles. I'm glad he managed to stay with you for so long though.
