Either that, or scurvy. Seems more like a tooth problem though.

kalu1- If you can afford it, or if you even want to, you can get an autopsy done on her to find out the cause of death. That is what I had done with my very very first guinea pig, Lucy. We took her body to a place called The Western Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, where they performed an autopsy on her. They discovered her exact cause of death. After that, we had her cremated by a local pet cemetery/animal cremation service (that also offered funeral services too!), and her ashes are now hermetically sealed in a tiny, beautiful urn.

Good luck!
