Question
My Guinea pig is vomiting and refusing to eat and drink. What illness is this and what can i do?


Answer
Damien Mccord

Thank you for your question!

Guinea pigs are incapable of vomiting, so instead this most likely is heavy salivating.

I strongly suggest that you take your guinea pig to the veterinarian IMMEDIATELY. This could be a sign of poisoning of some sort.

Please call the vet as soon as possible. This sounds much too risky and dangerous for my aid.

Best wishes
