Urgent Help!

[Eve Clayton]

so I posted in here maybe 2 weeks ago when my Guinea Pig was experiencing trouble and then she was fine (not completely fine) again. She is very thin and weak and we are/we’re feeding her the recovery paste and she had lost feeling in her leg. At the time she weighed 880 grams. Today she has been really rough and hiding her head, a bit stiff and breathing really heavy so I weighed her and she’s only 850 grams (she was 980 at Christmas time) I don’t know what to do as I think she’s dying! Help I don’t know what to do!

You need to get her to a vet urgently.
Do you have a veterinary hospital or emergency care near you?

No and we brought her to the vet the other day and he said there’s nothing else he can do.

Sorry, but you really need to see a vet!

Keep her as comfortable as possible, warm, but not hot. The heavy breathing is a very worrying sign, as well as refusal to eat and engage with world.

I’m afraid the only thing we can advise is that you get her to a vet.

If you absolutely can't get her to a vet, make her as comfortable as possible, maybe put her on some warm blankets?

Sorry to ask but what did she go to the vets for in the first place? Was it just because she was losing weight? As well as the syringed food which I’m guessing will be like the critical care we use over here, could you try pro c, probiotic that helps restore bacteria in the tummy. Is she pooping okay? How is she looking now?
