Guinea pig hunched up arched back

I'm really hoping for the best for her. Does she look any better?
She seems a little better. its the first time i see her lay down n rest. its like she doesnt sleep/hasnt been sleeping just standing on her 4 legs afraid to move.
 
she cant stand straight n she pooping an awefull lot. lost weight 1.49lbs . her eyes have opened very wide. I'm holding up her body so she can eat. her legs are my biggest concern

I only gave her metacam n bactrim in morning. afternoon 2 meds the emergency vet gave me. i left heater on facing her earlier.
 
she seems to have a nasal discharge also. like white liquid near/by nose. also her front paws have been a sort of green color a few days now. i always clean it but it seems to come back. if this is a sign of uri i do have baytril which i had her on before (but stopped it bc i felt she was on too many meds)

she cant use her legs it seems. I'm afraid to call the emergency vet again as i just went yesterday. tomorrow i have an app with regular vet but not till 3:30 in afternoon.
 
Rinoa passed away. I laid her in her cage around 11pm n started researching what causes guineas to lose mobility. She laid on her stomach flat and i could see her body making breathing motions. It was 2:30 when i last looked at her. My plan was to lay in bed for 30 min then pick her up n give her critical care, and keep doing this every 3 hours. I laid in bed longer than i should have and at 3:30 i got up to look at her, lifted the sheets and did not see her body doing the breathing motions.

These are the last veggies i gave her. you can see how wide her eyes are, how alert she is and how hungry she was. but she had no mobility could not move her legs. At 11 i laid her in her cage but knew she would not be able to move

The last video of her i have. She layed on her stomach, eyes wide open. very much alive. she somehow managed to crawl/move several times for 4 hours. I left the heater on next to her following the vets advice to keep her temps up. She was 6 years and 10 months old.
 
I’m so sorry Rinoa has left for the rainbow bridge. What a wonderful age she was. That just shows what a wonderful like you gave her. ❤️
 
Oh dear I'm so sorry. You did everything you could for her and she will know how loved she is. She isn't suffering any longer.
RIP Rinoa, over the Rainbow Bridge 🌈❤️
 
I'm so sorry Rinoa's age caught up with her. You did all you could for her and gave her a wonderful life full of love.
