I'm worried about my guinea pig.... for ever, he has been the fattest pog, like was a fat big. But today DH said he looked skinny, i picked him up and he is just skin and bone, he has lost ALL his fat!! I'm just...I don't know, would be different if he lost it slowly...but it was in the period of a few days and there isn't any on him =(
I worked out i would have had him for 5 years in October.. and i'm sure this is a long time for a guinea pig...so he is prob just getting old and on his way out...
but it makes me sad =( He has been my little buddy for so long...
I'm already mourning him...and he is a little trouper, he has been through so many life changes, different house etc (because i've dragged him around with me) so, i know he is a tough little guy.
how are his teeth looking hun? its quite common in piggies for their teeth to become overgrown and they have trouble eating and loose a stack of weight.
check the back ones too.
Fngers crossed he's back to his fatty ways very soon

Take him to your vet and get him checked out if you are worried Does he have any appetite? Is he otherwise his normal self?
As Skybie said, maybe his teeth are just overgrown and he is having trouble chewing, your vet will be able to file them back.
Ive taken my guinea pigs to the vet and my entire family laughed at me If you're worried do it though Are his poos still pellety? Is he a caged variety or a free range? ie could he have eaten something he shouldnt have?
i dont know, but its true...he might be sick? My brother suggested going to the vet, if only to find out what guinea pig life spans are or you know, see what sickness are out there...which makes sense. =P
