Better take the pig to the vet ASAP... and try to separate him from the other pigs in case it's contagious.. in the meantime, try hand feeding him Oxbow's Critical Care.. very dangerous for guinea pigs to lose weight...

Pls help. it is not a good sign for a piggy to lose weight. i suggest u bring him to a vet asap. could be mites. piggies can die within 2 2-3 days after these symptoms |
