My first guinea pig died in vet they put injection on her. Then she breath heavily. When we reach home. I put her on my bed to give medicine but it was too late;(
Now I don’t trust these dr.

Its impossible for us to tell whether she is ill or not from looking at a picture
if she is breathing heavily and has discharge, then she needs to see a vet

has she got lots of hay in her cage to eat?
is she eating hay?
have you been routinely weighing weigh every week as part of routine care?
when you have concerns over their health, you switch from lifelong routine weekly weighing to weighing event day at the same time each day, to monitor their weight and therefore their hay intake. If she is eating enough hay for herself and is losing weight, then you must step in and syringe feed

Yes she is eating well.
I brought hay every day
And she eats it
But she just lay here and there thats put me in doubt
 
How is her weight? Is she breathing more heavily than before? It may be she’s missing her friend but we can only guess.
 
Again, we cannot tell you anything from a picture.

she may be lonely or she may be ill - we cannot say either way just from looking at a picture. She needs a vet to diagnose any illness. We cannot do that.
 
Have you been weighing her? If not then start now and do it every day at the same time. If she is losing weight you will have to syringe feed. You can use pellets soaked in warm water.
 
How can i take her to vet
My first piggie died
I takee her to vet they put injection
Then she died

we can’t comment on that - we don’t know what was wrong with your first piggy, or what injection they gave her. It may not have had anything to do with the injection.

but if this piggy is ill, she isn’t going to get better if you don’t take her to a vet.
 
Yeah. I checked her weight.
She’s eating
But when I touched her she feels warm

so is her weight stable or has she been gaining week on week Etc?

she will feel warm, they are meant to but that isn’t and indication of whether she is ill or not as you won’t be able feel whether she is too hot
 
How is her weight? And when did you last weigh her before today?
 
And when did you weigh her before that? And what was she then?

Start weighing her every day at the same time and see how she is.
 
You now need to weigh her daily. So weigh her now, and then weigh her again at the same time tomorrow, and the next day etc. It’s the only way to know she is eating enough.

but, she will need to see a vet if you put think she is ill . We cannot tell you if she is ill or not and we cannot tell you what is wrong with her
 
I haven’t checked there weight before since my first piggie died I’m worried about my second piggie then I checked her weight
And thats was the first timei check her weight. Back then she was active since her cagemate died she’s low
 
Weigh her every day from now. We always say to weigh them daily if you’re worried there’s something ‘wrong’ or they’re ill.
 
Yes i will. In my city the temperature is 21•c this temperature is fine for my guinea pig.
 
Yes, I agree. Weigh daily while you have concerns about her health. (you weigh them weekly as part of routine care when you aren’t concerned about their health. If you spot slme concerns in their weekly health checks, you put then switch to daily weighing)

yes 21 is fine but humidity also plays a part in how comfortable they feel.

weighing her does not replace a vet visit though. If she is unwell, you must take her to a vet
