Won't Come Out Or Eat

[Rin]

Hi! I have owned my guinea pig for almost a year, but she is about 10 years old. Yesterday I noticed that she didn't eat her pellets in the morning, or her hey. I also noticed that her water bottle was full, and found out it was not working.( I fixed the bottle and she came out to get a drink)
She did not come out of her House the rest of the day, and she didn't eat celery last night, so I tried to feed her a carrot, and she barely ate that.
This morning she didn't eat her pellets or hey but she did drink, and she is still not coming out of her house.
Please help!

EDIT: I checked out the symptoms of dehydration, and she matches that description, her droppings are small and teardrop shaped, she's not eating as much, and she's not coming out. Also I found out she's closer to 7 then 10 years old.

Hi and welcome!

Please offer her syringe feed and water and have her seen by a vet asap!
Our guide also contains tips for what you can do in an emergency with what you have got at home. Complete Syringe Feeding Guide

Make sure that you spot clean the area she is sitting in once or twice daily.

At the grand old age of 10, it can just be that her time has come, but it can be something that is treatable. Only a vet can decide that.
