Hello guinea pig lovers,
I am in an urgent need of help. My guinea pigs were outside and roaming freely in my yard, as they always are on nice days. After they had 5 hours of play time I decided to go out and find them and bring them inside so they could eat. One of my guinea pigs was out of her boarders and laying in the yard. The other one was in his boundaries. I brought the two inside and noticed they were both limp and one was squealing in pain but has no sign of injury, other than his inability to walk straight. The other can hardly lift its head and also has a gash on her neck that is slightly bleeding. She too can hardly walk. They both twitch/ jump every few seconds. It was been multiple hours since I brought them inside and nothing has changed. I have absolutely no clue as to what to do or what could have possibly hurt them! I was thinking either an animal attacked them or they ate something poisonous but nothing is adding up! I have had these two for 4 years and previously had one for 9 years until it died recently due to old age. None of my piggies have gotten hurt while roaming around my yard outside before. I cannot afford a visit to the doctors. Someone please help me. I am so depressed at the thought of not being able to help my babies.

But you did the right thing taking them to the vets.
