Thanks a lot for the suggestion. Yes, for this week, I am in the midst of feeding the liquid vitamin C, and the powdery meds given by Dr. Vellayan by the time I go to the hospital. These meds hopefully can increase his appetite to eat or drink again. Right now he only responded to soft type of food, he ate Lettuce also, but very little. At least something rather than nothing at all right? It's not an easy job to take care when he is really sick, he will refuse to anything you offer, even his regular fav food. I have to feed him regularly with syringe, because he can't eat by himself. He's too weak, and too skinny, he can't even lift up his head properly. Poor thing. I wish to know what's the cause of it and how it happen.

So sorry to hear about Gucci, she's surely in peace now.
Yes, I kind of agree with you, there are not many experienced vets here who can treat GP or has expertise with GP in Malaysia.
Most vets that I called just said, "no we don't treat guinea pigs, but you can just bring him here and we'll have a look".. How can I trust such statement?    My point is, if you're not sure then don't just say you can do something about it, and just charged for the sake of consultation fees. End up you still go back with nothing and waiting for your poor guinea to recover. Sorry if I'm a bit emotional about this, I just had few bad experience before. 

No signs of mites, the fur, ear, eyes, teeth as I checked are perfectly healthy. He's only 7 months now.

Sure, I won't mind sharing and update about him here.. at least it's good for future or current owners to face this kind of difficulties and emergency situation like this. Not to scare future owners but, just be prepared with some proper research beforehand because GPs are quite prone to sickness. Hopefully he can survive longer. 

Xavi, need to tell u some news, good    n bad 

d good news is Timmy got a child, white color (right side) n got bit black n choc on left side 

d bad news : only 1 survive, d other 1.....

at last google where is that place "Taman Tasik Titiwangsa" Too Far already+ i not familiar with the road there ! i'm from klang! can we make it more nearer ? or all of u live nearby only ? so u all are looking for park for this 1st outing ?

If we organize somewhere nearer to you, someone else will ask us to organize more near to them.

Park would be preferable, since we decided to bring along our GP for this outing.

Hi all GP experts,

I'm a newbie at this post..
I love to be part of y'all, but now I'm in the worst mode bcoz my GP is terribly sick.

I wish to know if anyone could tell me any doctor who can really treat GPs very well here? The sickness is quite severe, I think it's internal problem. He is very2 weak now, he could not eat or drink by himself, have to feed him using syringe.. He has lost appetite too.

I plan to bring him this weekend to this hospital: http://www.animalhospital.com.my/
But would like to hear your recommendation also.

Please help. 

i've already experienced it before.. in the beginning my gp is like a popcorning(but its not actually a popcorning-lompat2)..then after 3days, her leg is bengkak. then i brought her to the vet, and the doc give me antibiotic and painkiller. i tot my gp condition would be much better, but, day by day, she only lay down and prefer to eat soft food (hay rather than pellet). 1 day, she wheeking (maybe to say she is sick), when she eat, her air liur always come out. and she even cannot chew her food. and her condition become worst. at night after i return back from dinner, i saw her lay down, no energy..she try to wake up, but she cant...only her feet can be move.. pity..huhu..then i tried to make her stand, but can't. lastly i brought her to medivet at jln tun razak (private vet), the assistant said, try to give her glucose to regain back her energy and put warm water below her body to make it warm. but after a few minute (after finish discuss with the assistnt), she gone...hhuhuhu     hope she will be in peace. my advice, go and seek the specialist doc immediately, bcoz ur gp is still can be survive..not like mine, gone after lay down..uhuh.. ksian alisa! try to give more vit c to her.. hopefully ur gp become healthy again!

1. Last when I weighed him at Dr Yeoh's clinic, he was only 400g.<-- that is underweight for a 7month old
2. Poo last week was smaller, smaller than hamster's, like round shape but not watery. This week already start watery probably because he only eats mashed / soft type of food. But he seldom eat also <-- watery as in berak cair? If so sound like diahearia and angin in the tummy same case as my choco previously. U must stop the vege and fruit totally jus hay. As their tummy having a bateria inbalance.. Nothing u can do but jus hope it take up more hay and vitamin C.. Mash pellet will also help.
3. Pellets are only from Oxbow and Cobayes (as treat) since day one I brought him home. <-- no treat for now try to reduce the sugar intake for it as it will cause more air in its tummy
4. Vege are mostly lettuce, carrots, celery, baby tomatoes. Fruits are mostly apple.<-- stop this 1st if wan also feed it on a interval basic. stop celery totally 1st. 
5. Fed him vit C liquid everyday also<-- continue the vit c
6. Hay: Alfalfa and Timothy from Show Hay and Oxbow.<-- continue the hay .this time try to get mountain grass which have herbs 1 ..oxbow hay it.. Get those which are only in green colour. Tis is more fragrant increase appetite. Oat hay help too.
Gosh.. so sorry to hear that.. looks like you went to the same place I plan to go after this.. Hmm, mind if I ask, did you identified the root cause of it? Did the doc mentioned anything? Is it Dr. Sivan? AFAIK only he's the one who's familiar with exotic animals there.

xavi: Thanks for the advice.. right now he refuse to eat hay, he hardly eat anything. Sighh.. Mashed pellets i tried before, but I mix it with water.. there's no way he can eat from food bowl because he can't lift up his head at all.

juztiny: Looks very cute. The black+gold colour is just as similar as mine.. Can I ask, how do we determine whether we can mix different breeds or not in the same cage?
