Although hopping instead of walking is a sign of vitamin deficiency, if you think that Guinness is getting enough fresh fruit and veggies I think that it is time to take him to another vet.

Inexperienced vets often seize upon vitamin deficiency without considering any other options. He may well have another underlying problem which has not been diagnosed.

Falling over on his side might indicate an ear infection but it is impossible to guess without seeing him.

Have you looked at GuineaLynx's page on scurvy ( lack of vit C ) ?

If he were my piggy, I would be asking for a second opinion. 

Best of luck with him and do tell us how he gets on.
