Question
Hi, my guinea will not eat or drink, just lays in his cage.trying to give him water with eye droper.He has been like this for two days now.going to try and take him to the vet tomarrow. Today is july 4th and none are open Thank you for your time

Answer
Hi Michelle

Unfortunately, lack of appetite is a general sign of ill health. All you can really do before seeing the vet is to keep him cool and try to feed him by the eye dropper as he certainly needs liquid in this hot weather.

Good luck
