I'm truly sorry to hear about the loss of your guinea pig. Losing a pet is never easy, and it's completely understandable to want to know more about what might have happened.

The symptoms you described, such as unusual breathing and jerking head movements, could suggest a few different issues. Respiratory distress in guinea pigs can result from infections, heart problems, or even environmental factors like stress from moving. The jerking head movements might have been linked to neurological issues or severe discomfort.

Unfortunately, without a veterinary examination, it's difficult to determine the exact cause. If you have any further questions or need support during this challenging time, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you.
