I wish I knew how to help you, but I don't. I'm sorry.
Good luck with her.
Welcome to pet talk, I hope you stick around and enjoy it here.

Yes I do, take her to the vet! If she is crying and you think she is in pain then you need to take her to the vet!

Is she crying or "wheek"-ing? Guinea pigs make a loud "wheek" noise when they're happy. If she is crying though, get her to the vet. I hope she's okay!

[Karen]

Is she eating and pooping normally?

[guineapiglover4ever]

Oh, that's awful that your parents wouldn't take your piggie to the vet. :( Maybe you could call a vet yourself? Look in the phone book for one that treats guinea pigs (they might say 'exotics') Tell them that you're 12 and don't have any money, but you want to know what you can do for your guinea pig.

okay but my mom loves her too but we r on a tight buget i worked hard to get her and the cvage and food and things that kalena needs we cant afford $90 a visit pluse operations if kalena needs it we might as well just buy a new one for $25 :confused:

Oh, don't say that. :( Couldn't you call a vet? A phone call would be free... She might be able to help your piggie girl.

I dont think it would be 90$ for small animals isn't it cheaper... It is here... Call your vet and see what they say... ask how much and see if they have any advice... that wont cost money also maybe check on the internet if you see anything related maybe something you could do if You really cant help... Maybe other family members to borrow money or something DOn;t give up on her

Here's a quote on diarrhea in guinea pigs from the guinealynx (http://guinealynx.info/) :

"Diarrhea especially if accompanied by the pig looking ill and sitting with its coat puffed up: get to a vet.
A black, foul-smelling watery mess indicates a very serious intestinal problem (bacterial infection, eating spoiled/moldy hay or vegetables).
For diarrhea resulting from antibiotic use (killing off intestinal bacteria), consult your vet, who may switch to a different one and prescribe an intestinal bacterial supplement (a probiotic).
Milder forms of diarrhea (too many fresh fruits or vegetables or a change in feed) are also serious, require immediate treatment (generally replacing fresh vegetables with lots of timothy hay), and with no rapid improvement require a trip to the vet.
Severe diarrhea can also be caused by E. coli and giardia. Your vet will do a fecal culture to identify the problem and prescribe appropriate medications."

Do any of those apply to your piggie girl? I really hope she's okay.
