A guinea pig is sick

Question
I work at a pet shop and when I came in today I saw that the guinea pig who is a few months old was in the corner not moving. He let me pick him up without any problem but usually he s wouldn t even let me touch him. His back seems very bony and you could just tell that he s not feeling good. He s eating great . What wrong with him?


Answer
Hello,
Seeing as you work in a pet shop, you would not want anyone to but a sick guinea so if I were you I would take him/her straight to the vets as what I may tell you could be wrong. Your guinea may have a cold and just be feeling a bit under the weather, if so keep him/her warm and dry.
Best wishes
