New Born Pup
Hi! My guinea pig Chester is almost 6 months old, he is usually very energetic and friendly, he runs up to the cage door when someone approaches and he popcorns a lot also. But today i woke up and noticed he was sitting in a corner, i thought it was kind of weird cause usually in the morning he is in his house or waiting next to his food bowl for me to fill it up. When I approached the cage he just stayed in that position and i noticed also that there were more food left in the bowl than there usually is and he had drunk only half of the amount he usually does drink every day. When i went to pet him he looked scared, and he also got scared at movements out of the cage (for example me removing the water bottle) which he usually doesnt do. I came back with a full bowl of food, some carrots that he gets every morning and fresh water. He always smells the carrots and runs to the cage door but this time he didnt want to move from his spot, and when i placed all the stuff back in his cage he still didn’t bother to eat or drink. I decided to then change the hay and i knew he would always get excited when i give him hay but again he did nothing. He sometimes backs up slowly moving hos butt like he is going to pee. It also looks like he is breathing fast or his heart is pumping fast. Also he has been sneezing a lot recently. I am currently sitting next to his cage and writing this and i hear him teeth scattering, he is moving more but just turning around in his corner. I am concerned, this behaviour is not normal for him.
