My lil rattie baby Hope is sick. She has diarea and a lose of energy. She just sulks in her cage all day! Both of them are out right now and Hope seems a little bit moody as she is a lil Nippy. Do you think she needs to go to the vet? Do I need to sperate her from her sister? Please someone help me!

Definitely give the vet a call. In guinea pigs, diarrhea and a lack of activity can be signs of a very serious, life threatening condition. Have you changed her diet recently? I'm not familiar with ratty diets, but too much fruit or veggies or a change in diet sometimes causes diarrhea in guinea pigs. Make sure she's getting lots of water too! Sending get well prayers for Hope!!

Thank you so much! I am going to call the vet this monday and ask them if I should bring her in or ask them if there is any advice they can give me. I didn't seprate them. So I hope Melony doesn't get sick!
