Hello,
I am new to this list. I hope I am doing the topic correctly.

I have a guinea pig (Shaggy) that I have had for about a month. This past Monday he had cold symptoms so I took him to the vet. He had stuff in his eyes and his head was tilted to one side. He was on some antibiotics and in a few days he no longer tilted his head. The problem I have with him now is that he just sits there. He rarely eats or drinks. I have to feed him water and food with a syringe. He eats and drinks like that but won't do it on his own. I can't figure out why or what to do. He was eating fine and was very energetic but since he got sick he just sits around. Any advice?
Thanks
Rachel
