my baby guinea pig

Question
i have a baby guinea pig that seems to be losing weight and not wanting to eat.. he seems hungry and thirsty but not able to move very well.. im currently wetting down his food and feeding him with an eye dropper and putting vitamins on his water.. trying to get something in him at least.. but i dont know if there is anything else that i can do..or if there is anything else i can give him to try to save him..

Answer
Hard to say as you do not say how old he is. You could get rescue remedy from a health food store and rub a drop on his ear every few hours and put one drop in 1/2 C water, then put a drop of that in every meal you feed him.

If you really want to save him - call Dr. Yearout in WA - he specializes in the little creatures and uses homeopathy to treat them - this would give you a good chance of saving him. 425-334-8171

Good luck,
