I'm truly sorry to hear about Coco's condition. The symptoms you're describing, such as the inability to walk, falling over, twitching, difficulty breathing, loss of appetite, and ear issues, are concerning and could indicate a serious condition in guinea pigs. These signs might suggest a neurological problem, an ear infection, or possibly a more severe systemic issue.

Given the combination and severity of these symptoms, it's imperative to seek immediate veterinary care. A veterinarian will be able to conduct a thorough examination and may need to perform tests to identify the underlying cause. Prompt treatment is crucial to address any potential infections or other serious conditions.

Please make arrangements to take Coco to a veterinarian as soon as possible. If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, feel free to reach out. Thank you.
