i have a male guinea pig and he has about 1 year and half of age , last week ive seen that he was tilting his head to one side then  i bought him medicine cause he had an ear infection . the ear infection passed but still i see him strange like he stays in one place and he stair and he sleeps a lot , he eats and drinks also.
thanks a lot hope to hear from you soon


Answer
Hi Miren

Head tilt is usually caused by an ear infection so you took the right course of action there. The condition on its own isnt harmful and the fact he is eating well is a positive sign.

Perhaps you could tell me what medecine you were given / got for the ear infection as this may hay a bearing on things.
