My Guinea pig has a head tilt and is not eating very well. Can I bring her to the petco pet clinic to get looked at? Pet's info: Small Animal | Unknown - Small Animal | Female | unspayed

Hello! Yes, I would recommend taking her to a vet clinic to get her checked out. I would be worried about a possible ear infection causing her to feel off balance and nauseous. Dental disease can also lead to tooth abscesses that can affect the ears as well, and could be why she isn't eating. A vet can perform a thorough physical exam and may suggest sedation if she is painful, or x-rays to examine her teeth. I hope this helps! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
