Answer
Hi David,

I'm afraid you are correct.  You're guinea pig is probably dying.  I feel really bad about saying that, but sometimes there just isn't much that can be done, and if he won't eat, he won't eat.  You can try to get an infant's dosage syringe from a drug store (they usually have them for free).  Mix some of the guinea pig pellets with water and force his mouth open, then very gently push the food in.  If he won't swallow, you really can't do anything.

You should take him to a veterinarian to see what is wrong.  Ask the vet what to do and how to take care of him.  Make sure you see a vet that works with guinea pigs, and don't let the vet give him any penicillin antibiotics.

Good luck.  I wish I could be more positive for you.
