I'm truly sorry to hear about the symptoms your guinea pig is experiencing. Gasping for air, limpness, and jerking legs are indeed very concerning and could indicate a serious health issue such as respiratory distress, neurological problems, or even a cardiac event. It's crucial to seek immediate veterinary attention for your pet.

In the meantime, try to keep your guinea pig as calm and comfortable as possible. Place them in a quiet, stress-free environment and minimize handling, as this could worsen their condition.

Please make it a priority to get emergency veterinary care right away, as these symptoms can be life-threatening and require professional intervention. If you have any further questions or need assistance, don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for taking swift action to care for your pet.
