guinea pigs

Question
my guinea pig hasn't been eating his food or drinking his water, could you help me?

Answer
Guinea pigs very seldom get over an illness without help and can decline extremely quickly. While it may appear your guinea pig has "just" come down with something, he may have been concealing symptoms for some time, a behavior which puts additional stress on the immune system. Concealing illness is a survival mechanism in the wild, where a lagging pig would quickly be picked off by a predator.

For these reasons, if you suspect your guinea pig is ill, it is always best to take it to a veterinarian

Not eating is extremely serious, as your pets' system will shut down with dire consequences. After as little as 16 to 20 hours of anorexia, liver cells begin to break down and from then on, your guinea pig will only get worse. If your guinea pig is not eating, get to a veterinarian immediately.
