Dear Katie,

I am so sorry to  hear you guinea pig is acting strangely. You should  
call a vet that specializes in exotic or pocket pets because they may  
able to give you some advice or medicine should she need it.

First of all, you shouldn't be feeding her Diorites or popcorn. They  
aren't good for her. Guinea pigs should be getting fresh vegetables  
like romaine lettuce, celery, small amounts of carrots, and other  
fresh foods. They also require lots of vitamin C which they can get  
from fruits and vegetables. If she isn't drinking, try giving her  
some cucumber or watermelon. It has lost of water in it. Fruits have  
lots of sugar so she should get too much of them.

Is she eating her pellets? Does she have timothy hay? Is she active  
or sitting in a corner.
