Guinea Pig Sick!

21 13:46:33

Question
I think my guinea pig is sick! He is pretty slow, I think he might be weak, and it doesn't seem like he can eat many things. He can eat banana, but after giving him water and banana, he didn't want to eat any more after a few times. Please tell me what I should do!

Answer
a guinea pig not eating is quite serious. if carrots, bannana and parsley cannot tempt him then you have to book an appointment with the vet. the longer you wait then the weakerhe will get and the less likely they will be able to help. with guinea pigs there are many things that could cause this and so it is difficult to say what it is likely to be without examining the pig myself.

best of luck
