Thanks everyoneLyn5 said:OMG Kliz!!!!! She is so cute and her hair looks great (and still long). I don't want to tease too much and jinx myself, but good luck as she gets to be a teenager and the boys start forming a line

Just got home from work and had to stop at the vet to pick Chip up. This was his third trip since last Thursday. The vet met with me when I got there. Chip had passed away about 20 minutes before I got there.
It was so hard to come home and tell Andrew. I know it's only a little guinea pig but to Andrew he was so much more. And the fact that Dale had died about three months ago and Andrew had gone through all this with him was so hard.
The vet said that he thinks there was an underlying heart condition and that he had a circulation problem. When I told him that when Dale died three of his feet had turned purple he said that he was certain that was what it was. He said it was most probably a genetic defect caused by inbreeding. We bought them from someone that I work with and I had questioned her about that when we bought them and she swore there was no inbreeding but...well, I guess we'll never know for sure!
I am so sorry....our animals are family too...I feel so bad for you all The lady you bought them from may sincerely not have known they were inbred. It could have been that mommy animal "x" was owned by someone and daddy animal "y" was owned by someone else....but that "x" and "y" originally came from the same, original breeder and were related.
