My guinea pig won't eat, hides, and seems sick. What could be wrong?

Question

My guinea pig wants to eat. But he can't. He eats so slowly. And also everytime I come to look at him, he is hiding in this blue tunnel all the time. My other guinea pig try to sniff his nose while he does it. I feel like my guinea pig is really sick. We brought him to the vet. They gave us the Oxbow Critical Care. It didnt help. My mom is bringing him to the vet again right now. Please help us. :). Pet's info: Small Animal | Unknown - Small Animal | Male | 11 months and 1 day old | 589 lbs

Make sure they check all of his teeth. The teeth can overgrown to the point that they can’t eat. If he hasn’t eaten for a while the intestines will stop moving and they will need medications for pain and also some to try and get them to start moving again. Hope they figure it out for you. Good luck
