    It is possible that your guinea pig was pregnant and had a spontaneous abortion or miscarriage, yes. Clean the cage thoroughly, and take the guinea pig to a vet to be checked over thoroughly, because it would be very unusual for a pregnancy to have involved only one pup, and she may need help if there are dead pups still inside her.
