Question
I have a 2 year old guinea pig. Her name is Snowy and she's a white albinio (I think I spelled it wrong).Snowy is a very lively and alert guinea pig. She licked my brothers nose last week and she started getting inactive all the sudden. She hasn't eaten anything in almost 2 days. My Mom has been feeding her lettuce. She ate very little of that. We try to give her some water, but she drank very little. Now she is starting to twitch a lot, she would barely move from one spot, and she would groan uncomfortably. When I pick her up she would limp and barely move. Can you please tell me what this is? I would really apperciate it. Thank you for your time.

Answer
I have no idea what this could be when ever mine get this way I end up loosing them .... but I only had two that were like this. Get an eye droper , empty the eye-water out and fill it with fresh bottled water . But the tip of the dropper behind her teeth and squeeze it "just a little  ". Be sure not to give her tooo much she will not be able to swollow. Pleas take her to a vet*...
     Pleas keep me posted on her "k"
                     I hope all goes well
