Our new member cgibson has sent me a PM saying this...
hi,
i got upu this morning and my guinea pig couldnt walk, he just sort of drags himself along, he is eating a little bit, hand fed, he has ate a bit of dried foor, cucumber and grass. he will not drink, we have been giving him water in a syringe.
he was fine yesterday, his normal self. i am making an appointment at the vets tomorrow, but was just wondering if you had an suggestions as what could be the matter with him.
thanks

Sounds like paralysis to me - What do you all think? - http://www.oginet.com/pgurney/paral.htm
I have advised that she contacts Vedra, a rodentologist or a vet before giving any meds to her guinea pig. Is there any foods though which contain calcium that guinea pigs can have?
