I'm truly sorry to hear about your guinea pig's condition. The symptoms you're describing, such as the inability to walk and experiencing seizures, are indeed very concerning and could suggest a serious underlying issue. This might be related to a neurological problem, ingestion of toxins, or a severe infection. It's important to seek immediate veterinary attention to address these symptoms.

In the meantime, while you're waiting for professional help, try to ensure that your guinea pig is in a safe, quiet, and comfortable environment. This will help prevent any injuries during seizures. It's best to avoid handling him too much, as this could add to his stress. Make sure he stays warm, and keep an eye on his breathing and responsiveness.

Seeking emergency veterinary care as soon as possible is crucial to determine the cause of these symptoms and to begin the appropriate treatment. If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you.

Thank you so much. Shaggy just passed. He's in a better place now. He was suffering i think.
