Something like that happened to me in TS1 (I don't know if you're talking about Bustin Out) and my kid just keeled over when she was in a good mood. So then I found out that some Sims are allergic to the gerbil! I couldn't find any way to prevent it other then moving the family out, and then back in again so my kid would be in a perfect mood. If you're talking about Bustin Out then just ignore what I said because I've never played that before:^)

if you have a pet a cavia and someone got bitten by it they somethimes got ill from it and they can die of it. You can prevent this to buy the cavia painting or let them do the chemnistry set, they will make a white potion and if they drink that that will be a cure of the ilness

if your sim gets bitten by the gerbil you need to wash your hands immediately after holing it to keep the sniffles away. Apparently looking at the painting of the guinea pig helps here too (although i've never tried it!) if your sim gets sick despite washing your hands after holding the guinea pig, you can normally nurse the sim back to health by drinking lots of hot drinks, getting lots of rest and keeping the energy bar really high.

Clean the Gerbil's cage. I once lost an entire family (8 people) to the Guinea Pig :(
