Worried about my guinea pig

[AutumnThePiggie]

Yesterday my 1 year old guinea pig has been acting off, she hasn't been squeaking when bag sounds are being made and she hasn't been moving around much. She doesn't have any physical injuries it seems and her poops are normal. Usually she would nibble at my finger and playfully run but she hasn't been doing that. Although I said no physical injury I noticed maybe a slight limp on her right hind leg but there would be no way she could've hurt herself. She'll eat her treats but not squeak like usual. I'm just worried about her, any help or answers would do wonders.

Hi

Please step in with feeding and watering support since over three quarters of what a piggy eats in a day is hay and you cannot judge that by eye. The poo output is inevitably running 1-2 days behind the input so it will not neessarily reflect any diminished feeding yet.
Switch from your once weekly health monitoring weigh-in on your normal kitchen scales to weighing daily first thing in the morning for best day to day comparison. This gives you up to date feedback in terms of food intake. The scales are your best ally in an illness.

Please see a vet as soon as you can get an appointment.

Please take the time to read these links here. They contain all the practical information and how-to care tips that we cannot repeat in every single post:

All the best. It is always a worrying time. Your first priority is to keep your piggy going as best as possible until she can be seen by a vet; then you have to take it from there,

Best bet is to take her to the vet x

I agree. A vet trip will give you reassurance and if something is amiss it’s best to catch it quickly
