Question
Hello,

 My guinea pig Faygo has had A really runny eye, to make a long story short he can't see out of it. THe other one is doing that to but my question is I take care of it and I notcied my other guinea pig gizmo, He won't let faygo eat so I took him out and faygo still won't eat. You can feel his ribs and everything , I can't afford by no means to pay a Vet. bill, so is there anything I can do for him. I went out and bought him food but nothing will intrest him. He won't eat lettuce and he loves lettuce. So please tell me if there is anything I can do for him.

Thank you
Kellie

Answer
Kellie,

I am sorry to hear about Faygo. It sounds as though he has a serious problem. The things that you have tried were all good ideas but your little friend needs to see a vet immeadiately. If you can see his RIBS then he is suffering terribly. There are many free or "goodwill" vet clinics out there and Faygo "may" just need a shot of antibiotics (around $15).

When you bring a pet into your home, they are your pet through good times and bad. They need your help at times and in return give you companionship and love. Faygo needs to see a vet.

Good luck to you and to Faygo,
Ryan
