my baby chalay has crusty stuff in his hear he wont move his hind quaters he wont eat he wont drink he wont even walk to get in his favorite bed what do i do
 
Welcome to the forum, I agree with the others, please see a vet ASAP. Not eating, drinking or moving sounds very worrying. Please update us when you can.
 
well i put mixed berryfood in ther and moved his water and he is drinking and eating a little bit but he wont move his backend we called the vet and she is suppose to call us and tell us what to do thank you for welcoming me to the forums thank you for your conserns I'm really worried i have only had him a short time and i love him to death!!!:...
 
Please let us know how you get on x
 
ok so we took him to the vet yesterday and one of his back legs is real tight in the muscle and she put him on some antibiotics and told us to keep trying to make him move he is now eating and drinking and we got him out today to see if he would move and he moves a little bit so that is signs of inprovement which is a good thing i still am hopeing and praying that he will be fine cause he is not healed yet i think he will be fine though he did loose a lot of weight cause he isnt eating as much!!! thank you all for your help and conserns i hope i will have lots of fun on this webpage because i love meeting new people and i love guinea pig for sure!1
 
I am glad things seem to be improving, how is he today? How old is he?

Do keep weighing him daily as you want to make sure he doesn't lose any more weight, and if he is old enough you may need to syringe-feed him to help boost his weight and help get him healthy again if he's not eating as much as normal (and if he continues losing weight). If you like I can email you a syringe-feeding factsheet, if you drop me an email at [email protected] I can send it out to you to have a look over, so you can be prepared if you do need to syringe-feed him, either now or in the future.
 
sorry that i didnt get back but he did die he was only 8 weeks old i couldnt do anything for him but i got a new guinea pig i dont have a name for him he is pig grey and has lots of rosetts he looks almost like a chinchilla does anybody have names
 
Oh what a shame about your other pig :(. I'm sorry I'm not good on names lol. Maybe wait for a few days, I'm sure one will come to you once you get to know him a bit. :)
