Today i went to play with my boys, Shiloh and Ozzi. When i picked ozzi up inoticed he was a little light in weight. I am going to the vet tomorrow and I want to know what to expect. He hasn't been walking and his poops are a jelly consistency he cant stand or support his head and i need some tips on what to do.

Hi!

I am very sorry, but...

Ozzi needs to see a vet NOW as a life or death emergency - the sooner you can rush him to the vets the better!

If Ozzi is so weak that he cannot lift his head, he can't wait until tomorrow. He has not eaten or drunk anything in well over 24 hours (more likely at least 2-3 days), hence the consistency of his poos showing total lack of food and the jelly being a sign of severe dehydration. His body is already starting to close down.
Guinea pigs are small animals that can go downhill very quickly, seemingly out of the blue and that cannot wait when they are severely ill as yours is unfortunately! :(

Sadly Ozzi couldn't make it over night. Thank you all for the advice I've tried my hardest. Dont think Shiloh realized that he passed ill keep you posted
 
So sorry you’ve lost Ozzi :(
At least Shiloh was with him.
RIP little piggy, over the Rainbow Bridge now! X
 
I was planning on taking a little trip to Ohio because my uncle has cancer but Shiloh hasn't been the same since Ozzi's death
 
Guinea pigs do grieve.
Usually they get on with the business of surviving after a couple of days but are often subdued and lonely.
There is a forum information thread with advice on helping a bereaved piggy.
You may want to think seriously about a new companion soon for him.
It's hard because usually the piggies are ready for new companions before we are.
 
I decided to buy 2 more piggies named chandler and salem shiloh is happier than ever i am in the process of getting 2 babies named Aribé and maxie , phew wish me luck.
 
Sounds exciting.
You will have to tell us more and post pics.
Sorry to hear about your uncle,
Hope you manage to get to Ohio to see him
