Ahhhhhhh! I'm really worried my guinea pig is dying!?

She hasn't been eatign or drinking. We took her to the vet, and they gave us medicine. I don't know if it will help though. Please give me some advice!!! Thank you and please help!

It should help don't worry! When they don't eat, grab some of her favorite foods, sit down with her and try to hand feed her. When my guinea pig wasn't eating, I shoved the food in his mouth (not to be mean, to save his life!) and he ate it and then he started eating again, and I had to hand feed him with the water bottle for his water. Don't worry, the vet has a medicine, and you guinea pig will be okay. Just make sure to do what the vet says and your guinea pig will be okay. Oh, and maybe she is lonely! You should talk to your parents about another one, unless you already do have another one. GOOD LUCK! I will keep your little guinea pig in my prayers.

get her a water bottle but onot a sucking one a moving one
give her carrots
Sound like you have covered all your bases. Try hand feeding her, and get a syringe to feed her water with.

good luck!
Well, you took her to the vet, which was the best thing you could have done. If anything, verify that the meds they prescribed her are guinea pig-safe (check out the link below). Monitor her weight closely, and if she stops eating or drinking, it may be in your best interest to purchase feeding syringes (syringes w/o needles) to hand feed her water and pellets (mash up her pellets into a fine ground and mix with water). If her condition doesn't improve within the next week, take her back to the vet immediately.
it seems like your going through a tough time and i dont know much about guini pigs but i do know that giving her carrots will help and the medicin WILL help
What kind of medicine did the vet give her? Is she on a probiotic? You should post this on the medical forums at Guinealynx.info. She's not in with the male pigs, is she?
What does getting a puppy have to do with anything?
