My saga continues..

So a little less than a month ago, I posted that Jackie boy passed away. Today my worst fear came true. I found both of my girls have moved on to greener pastures. I am so depressed now, Gizmo (my first furbaby) and Nipper have followed Jack on. It leaves me with so many questions. Were they sick? They seemed perfectly fine. Is it possible for chins to get depressed? If so, would it be possible for them to pass away from that?

I don't know what else it could be. I can't believe all 3 of my babies are gone. I don't know what to do. I'm afraid my predicament with Jack is going to be the same with Gizzy, shes in the corner. Nipper passed in the bottom of the cage. It will be my friend to the rescue again I'm sure. I feel sick to my stomach...They were fine and now they are gone...I can't believe it. I just hope they went pain free. God Bless my little fur babies...Gizmo, Jack and Nipper. I will always love you.

I am very sorry. It is possible that they were sick...it is a bit strange for them to pass so close together.

How sad, I'm so sorry for your losses.
Yes all 3 so close together whould having me think something made them sick. Then you'd think they'd have shown some signs.
Yes chins can died from depression, but more likly shock.
When they go into shock the tiny little blood vessels though out their bodies burst.
In the couple of case I've seen of this, they seemed fine then all of a sudden they get very lathargic.They just lay down and died.
One was out for a run with during an introduction with a female.
They had been doing fine for a few nights runs, then she turned on him and chased him. Just as he was thinking she was warming up to him.
I put him back in his own cage to try again the next night, but found him slumped on the floor of the cage just hours after. He died in my arms.
Necropsy showed these tiny bleeds through out him and the vet said he went into shock.
Maybe you can get soom idea from this, were they fighting, or even just nasty to each other?
If nothing like that seems to have transpired I would think it was either illness or something they ate.
With so many so close I would have had a nercopsy done to make sure.
It's some hard to think of these things though when your loosing your little darlings.
My heart goes out to you.
