Question
my guinea won't eat or drink and all she does is lay in the middle of her cage with her fur sticking up a little I'm worried what do i do?
PLEASE HELP!

Answer
When a guinea pig refuses to eat or drink and is lying in the cage fluffed up it's a sign of serious illness.  I wish I could give you an answer Lila, but it sounds as though she is dying and I couldn't even begin to tell you why.

If she's an older pig (over four) she may be just going from old age. I'm so sorry I'm not able to help you with this, but you are asking for a truthful answer and I'm afraid that's what I believe is happening. Again I am sorry.
