Question
My guinea pig all of a sudden started to shake horribly and it can't even stand up any more. It is still shaking really bad! It's enviroment has changed and i do have a dog in the same yard. Do you thing it got freaked out and went crazy?

Answer
Hi Kathy

It sounds like your pig has gone into shock, perhaps due to the dog.

You should put her in a smaller box or container with some food and water and plenty of hay and monitor her closely.

If you see no signs of improvement shortly, please consult a vet for a medical opinion.
