This morning i noticed that Willow my 1 year old guinea pig has got a head tilt. I assume it is an ear infection but it could be worse.
Today being sunday it would cost me £150+ to go to the vets (which i am obviously reluctant to do)
evidently I will take her to the vets tomorrow but I'm so worried that she won't last the night !
How quickly can eat infections kill a guinea pig ? Do you think she will survive until tomorrow?
Any successful stories related to this would make me feel alot better .
Thanks , Emily

Ear infections don't usually kill that quickly, but the sooner you can have one treated, the better the chances of recovery and reversal of the head tilt.
 
Please be prepared to see an out-of-hours vet if their is any deterioration at any point.
