On my 22nd birthday, Mr. Boom got me my first guinea pig. She was white and fluffy. I loved animals and guinea pigs was one of them, we named her Pwooof. I don't know, it sounds nice and unique, and I sometimes call her Pwooof, Pwooof.
She loves to be touched; she was so adorable. She became fatter as she grew older. I got a male guinea pig for her. But she just ignored him and after a year, she died. I don't know why; it was so awful.
My very first guinea pig, the one I had ever loved. I cried so hard upon knowing that she died. I was not there for her when that happened. I was not there on her last moment. Until now, remembering her makes me sad. I long for her, her white fur, everything.
She was my first, I treated her like a baby. Well, maybe someday, I can find another Pwooof, just like her :~(

Yep, I really wanted to have a potbelly pig, hehheh... Wow, you love frogs? I'm afraid of 'em! I don't know why. I loved looking at them but when they jump in front of me, I'm going nuts!

So sorry to hear that. Without having had a necropsy done, you won't ever really know.
Do you still have the male? A good way to watch for illnesses in guinea pigs, is to weigh the guinea pig weekly on a kitchen gram scale. Since they are prey animals, guinea pigs try to hide their illnesses. But they can't hide weight loss if you're weighing them.
