Hello everyone. So my four year old guinea pig seems to be bloated. I've never had a bloat problem before so I'm not sure what to do. Her sides and tummy feel fuller than usual and she's not eating. she has pooped since I found out but Should I get some over the counter medicine for this or take her to the vet?

Please have her seen by a vet promptly. Severe bloat can kill and counts as an emergency.
Not eating means that she is in severe discomfort/pain already.
