Male guinea pig not acting his self

[Guinea pigs for life]

Male guinea pig under the name of fudge not acting his usual happy hungry self
He has watery eyes and is not eating or exorcizing (bad spelling)
He is quite old though 3 or four years
I'm not sure If I'm just worried as he's my first guinea pig and he's on his own and I didn't buy him but I love him and I'm scared
Please help he also has some sort of stick growth on his side eyelid
Reply soon I don't know what to do take him to the vet or what

If his behaviour has changed, his appetite has reduced and he has eye problems, then you do need to take him to the vets to get him sorted. (If he's not eating at all then you need to step in with feeding him as a matter of emergency.) Good luck and I hope your guinea pig is better soon.

He absolutely needs to see a vet and is by no means old. Domestic guinea pigs live on average 5-8 years so he is not yet elderly and even with old age I would not expect the symptoms you are describing

See a vet.
With any concern it’s a good idea to see a vet as soon as possible.
Let us know how things go

Definitely see a vet if there is any behavior change and there is a problem with his eye. Three or four isn't old for a guinea pig- average lifespan is between 5 and 7 years.

No animal is disposable, old or young, get him to a vet. . ( not saying your are saying that) but honestly is likely something avet can cure
