Why is my guinea pig suddenly very sick and barely breathing?

Question

My guniea pig is dying, she was fine yesterday, always has food, water and cuddles. Shes bathed when shes dirty and her bed is always clean. Shes now kicking her front legs, laying on her side and barley breathing. What can I do, or what could have caused this?

I am so sorry that your guinea pig is having this problem. Since she is so young, it could be a congenital malformation/disease or possibly an infection. You could take her to a veterinarian for an examination to try to determine the cause and see if any treatment would help. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do at home without veterinary care. So sorry.
