Sick Guineapig?

[Indigochild]

Hi I am a 14 year old girl with 2 male boarS (cavys)
And one of them is acting odd ... The last one I had before Zues (the one sick) had passed away from the illness ..

He is sticking his head into his food bowl and corners , he is being slow and he was eating slow .. I then prayed to god for him to get better , and he started eating non stop .. And he won't stop looking for food and he's being active about it.. What's going on .. My moms taking both of them to the vet on wensday but I'm complaining to her that the guineapig is most likely not gonna make it in 4 days , I mean seriously , my last one died from illness but in a matter of a day after he couldn't take hiding it anymore .. His fur is also puffed up

Please try to get an emergency appointment this morning, 2 days is a long time for a sick piggy.

I'd take him to a decent vet right away

Yes please get him to the vet today if you can, being fluffed up is a sign of illness.

He passed away sadly yesterday I woke up to him having seizures but he died peacefully in my arms and after he died I heard his squeaks in the distance and I took that as a goodbye mommy , I'm taking my other guineapig Oreo to the vet tomorrow because I think he is carrying the virus that keeps killing his cage mates .

So sorry to hear he didn't make it RIP little pig. Best get your remaining pig to the vet for a check up. Hang in there.

I'm really sorry.

A vet visit is a good idea as infections like this can spread very quickly. Do you have the one pig now? If not, please get all of them checked and put on the appropriate antibiotics if needed.

I am very sorry for your loss; guinea pigs can go downhill very quickly and need to be seen by a vet as soon as they go off food or show signs of not being well. Please weigh your guinea pigs once weekly and any piggy that is not quite right daily to monitor the food intake.

Please have your remaining piggy checked.
