My guinea pig died on Friday evening he became very ill out of the blue. He stoped eating or drinking water. I have had him for 3 years with no problems I dont understand what happened. I noticed some white discoloration of his mouth like patches. It the stuff on the patches was pilling off. Can you please tell me what may have happened to him so I can prevent this from happening to my other guinea pig?

Age: 4; Male; Breed: Guniea Pig

Already Tried:
