This is my guinea pig's story, I had him last 2 and a half years. I loved him very much as well as my parents. He is very naughty to the point i thought he was crazy and called a vet. haha! Then he always finishes his food and I know he is very healthy.. Then last year. His hair started to fall off. Then came his bald spot. Then time passes by and his poop started to get big. Its like its charging then releasing many poop then its smelly. usually my other pigs poop is not smelly. But his poop smelled like a human poop. Then we didnt had that much attention to that and I know its my fault as a owner who didnt put much care on that situation and thought everything will be fine... My mom went to the states Michigan and left the responsibility to me and my father. Recently he got a lump in his chest part. Then i started to find a vet who can care for my piggy. They said there is no one who can assess my guinea pig... Several days after The lump came to his legs. foot. etc. He still eats even though he has lump and still interacts with me. Recently the lump came to his throat it got big. He cant even put his head high. I carry his head and hand feeds him. He still eats. I really love him... Then yesterday, he didnt eat. He just laid there and crying time by time( like one cry every 10 mins ) then a while ago, He is very much fighting for his life. I got him and put him in the sofa with a towel and cared for him. Put some little water in his mouth. NOW.. he is fighting for his life... and his poop became water.. and I know he wont last long.. Its hard to see him like that. I just dont get it.. Why dont he just rest and dont prolong the pain... WHY? :( i am much likely to be happy to see him rest than to see him in PAIN... He is like a guinea pig who just lie down and doest eat and drink now...8...8...8...
 
I'm sorry to say this and it it offends you again I apologise, but your piggie should have been seen by a vet way before it came to this.

You need to do what is best for him and take him to a vet right away, he sounds like he is in a lot of pain and that is not fair on this piggie.

There must be a guinea pig wise vet somewhere near you that can have a look at him?
 
Take him to the vet. It might effect his breathing. Good luck little one
 
Thank you and dont worry i wont let that happen to my other guinea pigs.
When i see signs of illness ill go to a vet ASAP. I learned my lesson.
Thank you again. :)
 
I agree with first time piggy mum. Please do not think that we are having a go but yes, he should have seen a vet as soon as you noticed there was something wrong a long time before now.

Please take your boy to the vets asap as he is clearly in discomfort.

May be take some time to do some research in to finding a good vet who will be able to treat your piggies if you need to in the future.

Good luck and I hope the little guy pulls through xx
