Help with a guinea pig that is sick?

Question

Hey,I would like some help with my brown cavy, she recently got into a fight over food with her sister and has got a cut lip near her nose, since then her fur has became more puffy and isn't eating much or reacting with me instead she just stays in her hidey hole, when she sits she loos even more puffy and is always chewing things, she has chewed my headphones to bits and has a constant need to escape, she makes a weird noise every time I move her andi don't know what's wrong, help?

Any time you have a guinea pig that not eating it is time to take that guinea pig to an exotic vet to find out what is going on.Please get your guinea pgi to an exotic vet asap while you still have time to save its life.

Hey,

The best thing that you can do is take her to a vet, and have them check her over. Explain why she is acting strange, and I'm sure they'll be able to find out the problem. 

Good luck! :)

if youre piggy isnt eating you need to take it to a vet, generally if theyre off their food then youve got a decent problem. most likely she has an infection from the cut, it possibly has gotten into her mouth and that is why shes not eating/unhappy
