Is this an emergency?

I noticed today my Guinea pig has lost a little bit of weight. Nothing too extreme but enough to the point I picked up on it. He’s struggling to eat even though he’s trying to and I’ve also noticed he isn’t pooping much. He’s normally a bit of a menace and likes to torment the other pigs but he’s staying away in a corner and just sitting around. I was unable to get him to an out of our vets. The soonest appointment with his vets is on Saturday. Will he be ok to wait for 2 days?
Just a little update on this. Regardless of all the help we gave him he passed away a few hours ago with us and his friends. Devastated doesn’t even describe it. Thanks everyone for the advice.
 
I’m so so sorry to hear of your loss. It’s especially hard when you’ve tried so lovingly to keep him well.

You did everything you could do and I’m sure he knew just how much you cared and loved him.

Sending you lots of hugs at this difficult time. So sorry xx
