Guinea pig not eating, not pooping and just not moving a lot

[Maple et Churro]

Hi there one of my two guinea pigs named maple has been oddly quiet and has stopped moving, eating and most importantly pooping. He is usually very social and he moves and eats well most days and I'm concerned at his behaviour. He is just lying down in a puffy and seemingly bloated sate. He is around 3 or 4 years old and I'm wondering if there's anything I could do to help. Any feedback is very much so appreciated. Thanks

Please have him seen by a vet urgently.
Bloat is a very painful condition (him being puffy signifies pain) and severe bloat always requires immediate vet care.

Hay is the most important part is their food intake and as he isn’t eating it for himself you must immediately begin syringe feeding a fibre rich recovery feed (or mushed pellets in the absence of recovery feed) to replace hay intake.

You are aiming for a minimum of 60-90ml of syringe feed in each 24 hour period. You could need to feed every 2 hours.

Please switch from the routine care of weekly weight checks and instead weigh him daily each morning so you can ensure you are getting enough syringe feed into him each day to keep his weight stable.
