I apologize for starting so much threads about this. The post mortem exam of my little guinea pig showed that her liver was bleeding. Anybody knows how this could have happened? I don’t know if she jumped from something down cuz her cage is 20 cm heigh. And when I used to put her on my bed she never even went near the edges.

I am so sorry for your loss 
Sadly it’s impossible for us to say why her liver was bleeding and you’ll probably never find out. Be gentle with yourself as you grieve x

Who knows. Maybe there was a laceration to the liver that caused the bleeding. Did they give you any ideas what the cause may be? It’s difficult but please do try to hang onto the fact that you gave her a great life in the time she was with you. 
The doctor ask if she had fallen from somewhere or Something. Thank you

Please try not to blame yourself for what has happened. It is not something we usually see in guinea pigs and nobody can give you any answer as how and why the liver bleed has happened. It is just one of these crazy left field things that I lump under 'cosmic karma'. You cannot foresee them and therefore not brace for them; you just have to take them on the chin as and when they come along.
Concentrate on the happy times and the good life you have given your piggy. Guinea pigs don't measure their life with fixed expectations as to length of life or clearly defined welfare standards. They measure their life in happy todays, good food and a cosy home, belonging to a group and feeling safe and welcome. If you have done that, then you have done all that you have ever been required to.
None of us have control over how long our piggies live and what they ultimately die from. Very often we are left with unanswerable questions. But this should not devalue or detract from the love and the many happy days we have shared and that are making the vast majority of the life.
