Question
Hello, y guinea pig is very sick and she would not eat, i took her to get her teeth trimed and she will not eat nor drink what can i do for her?

Answer
Hi Ashley

The lack of eating is very serious and indicates some kind of health problem.

You need to go back to the vet, but, in the meantime you need to get fluids and food into her by syringe feeding.

Take a look at the link below which gives great advice on how to do this and when to do it.
