My daughter's guinea pig (milo) is sick. We don't know why or what. He has rapidly lost weight. He was fine this morning but now he won't eat or drink. Can't stand and is limp. Eyes are glassy. What should we do? Seems like he can't breathe

I’m so sorry to hear this. I’m afraid he sounds to be very poorly. I’m aware it’s late where you are, do you have any emergency vets?

I’m so sorry you have lost Milo. They hide their illnesses so well that sometimes by the time symptoms show its too late. Popcorn high at the bridge Milo. Take care

So sorry for your loss.
Sadly by the time we see something is wrong it can be too late as guinea pigs hide illness well.
Be gentle with yourself as you grieve
