It sounds like your guinea pig is experiencing some very concerning symptoms. Limpness, irregular breathing, and paddling movements can be indicative of a serious condition that requires immediate veterinary attention. These signs might suggest a neurological issue, a severe infection, or another critical health problem.

While it's reassuring that your guinea pig is still pooping, the other symptoms are quite serious and should not be overlooked. I strongly advise that you seek veterinary care as soon as possible. A veterinarian will be able to conduct a thorough examination and provide the necessary treatment to address these symptoms.

In the meantime, it's important to keep your guinea pig in a warm and quiet environment to help minimize stress. Try to avoid handling him too much, as this could worsen his condition.

Please make arrangements to take your guinea pig to a veterinarian immediately to ensure he receives the care he needs. If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, feel free to reach out. Thank you.
