Guinea pigs have all sorts of diseases that can affect them and cause weight loss.  I would recommend you take you guinea pig to a veterinarian who sees exotic pets and have a physical exam.  Just call around your area and ask your local veterinarians who will see pocket pets and make an appointment.

As medical professionals we have a lot of knowledge but we need to see the animal and possibly run tests before we can diagnose conditions and treat them appropriately.

Good luck to you both
