My guinea pigs name is cheeseballs, and he is a few weeks away from being 4 years old. I took him out onto the couch today and noticed he fell while I wasn’t looking, and thought nothing of it. A few hours later and he is constantly loosing ballance, falling over, and leaning to the right. He is genuinely my best friend in the world, and he seems fine other than that. All of our local vets are closed, however my dad is calling one soon for an appointment tomorrow. What is the best way to keep my little guy happy and pain free?
 
I am sorry to hear this.
Are there any emergency vets near you? If you phone your local vet/s most of the time their answering machine will include how to contact an out of hours vet.

I will attach the forums guide to bridging until you are able to see a vet - Emergency and Crisis Care as well as Bridging Care until a Vet Appointment

My thoughts are with you and cheeseball at this time x
 
He seems to be much better now, with only the occasional eye twitch. We have a vet appointment scheduled for next morning, and I think he’s going to be fine if it turns out well, thank you!
 
Good luck at the vets. I hope it’s something easily treatable.
