Desperate for an answer..A sick Guinea pig cavy

Sent to Pet Experts August 14 02:03 AM

I have a guinea pig cavy and she is about 3 months old. About 3 weeks ago her brother died unexpectidly. About 2 weeks after that i started to notice changes in her. She has pretty much stopped eating and has lost a lot of weight. She also seems to be limping a little bit. Ive been giving her pedialite from a bottle for about 2-3 days and it feels like there is a grinding in her mouth when she moves her jaw to swallow. Her eyes are clear and so is her nose but i dont know what is causing the loss of appetite and limping. I also cant afford a Vet Please help me ....im desperate for a cure.

 

Optional Information:
Age: <1; Female; Breed: Guinea pig Cavy

Already Tried:
Pedialite, and hand feeding her fruits
