Emergency My Guinea Pig Doesn't Eat/drink, Mental Status Not Bad, His Looks Weird. Plz Help!

[TimoPig]

I have a guinea pig (boy) he is now 8 months old. During the recent few days he hasn't been eating/drinking that much, so I have been manually feeding him for these few days. Last night I found his like this shown in the picture above: SMALL, and there are HOLES on it like the surface of moon......

Please help, can anyone tell me why is he like this AND what I should do?

Thanks!

Any time a guinea pig is not eating it pretty much indicates that a visit to the vet is urgently required. Please continue to syringe feed him until you can get to a vet.

Hi Thank you. Just did it! I will continue to syringe feed him until Thursday and will get him to the vet. (Is it too late?)

Our advice is to try and get him to a vet as soon as possible a Guinea Pig not eating is a very serious condition..
