Answer
Hi Meagan,
Mo seems to have an URI(Upper Respiratory Infection) from what you described, but I can't be sure unless I were able to examine him.
He needs to see a vet as soon as possible, although I know it may be hard to see the his vet because it's Christmas Eve. You may have to pay a little extra to see the vet, as it will be considered an emergency.
Make sure he is eating and drinking, this is a MUST to keep him alive.
He will need antibiotics prescribed by his vet or he will not get better. URI's should be treated as soon as you find out your guinea pig has one, they can be fatal if not treated with the proper antibiotics soon enough.
For more information on URI's, you can go to http://www.guinealynx.info/uri.html .
I hope Mo gets well very soon, and feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.
                                 And, Merry Christmas!
