Tony, my Guinea Pig is limp and just twitching his head in different directions. What should I do?
 
Please keep him comfortable and warm. Is there a way that you can mush up pellets or an emergency care to syringe feed him and get food moving through his system.

I am very sorry to hear this is happening.

I don’t. I’m sorry. I never thought something like this would happen. I’m a bad owner…
 
If you want to try getting anything into him that maybe can help mushed fruit, veggies, pellets or anything else he could have can get his GI tract moving.
 
Is there no way of taking him to the vet or any vet at all? You can try to get a Uber if they have some of those in Virginia where you are.

You can create a page about him in the Rainbow Bridge Section as a memorial for him. He was very lucky to have you.

He’s still alive. A fighter. But if he’s in pain… I don’t want him to be anymore. I wish there was something I could do.

I understand, it is tough to see him go. Keeping him warm and letting him know he is loved is a very special thing that you can provide to him.

Yeah. I have to go to sleep now though. There’s a part of me that has hope that he’s fine and when I wake up tomorrow he’ll be better. But I know it’s too good to be true. I at least want him to go peacefully and without pain but unfortunately I can only provide him with comfort. I hope he’s happy with the other guinea pigs in the afterlife, if he passes while I’m asleep.
 
I’m so sorry Tony is poorly. It does sound like he is passing away. I don’t think he will be aware of what is happening and not in any pain now. Keep him comfortable. I’m so sorry. ❤️
