My guinea pig is drooling, underweight, and won't eat. What's wrong?

Question

i noticed my guinea pig is severely underweight when i gave her a bath a couple weeks ago. it was only then i noticed she wasnt eating. didnt notice before bc she lives with my other guinea pig and the other guinea pig was eating her portion. been hand feeding her veggies every night and i think shes starting to eat by herself again. but theres excessive drooling and i dont think thats healthy.

Have her physically examined by your veterinarian. Her teeth should be checked for overgrowth or misalignment. If necessary, your vet can trim them. There may also be infection or inflammation that could be affecting her appetite. This may require antibiotics or anti-inflammatories which your vet can dispense. If the teeth are fine, there may be another underlying condition which could be diagnosed with additional diagnostics.
