Sorry if this is in the wrong place, or titled wrong and thanks in advance.
I've had my rescue guinea pig for about 8 months now, And he's usually very happy, loud, pop corning whenever someone enters the room. But yesterday morning I noticed he was very quiet and curled in the corner, He stayed there most of the day. Also didn't eat his cucumber and food was barely touched for that day. He usually eats a lot and is more lively.
Also, he sometimes has white liquid around his eyes, which hardens up and I clean it away for him. I was never worried about this before, as I was told it's what they use to clean themselves, But now I'm thinking maybe it's serious?
I'm worried, we don't have any vets around my town that specialise in small pets treatment. My last guinea pig only got worse after the vet insisted to continuously inject him with medicine.
What could be wrong?
There is a cavy vet about a 40 minute drive from where I live, Is this car drive too much for a guinea pig?
