*Urgent*!!! Please any advise for approx. 3 month guinea.

[Pate'sFarm2018]

I have the guinea for about 2 months I got them when they was a month old. Since then the one has been sick, it trys to stand and falls over and lays to one side. This has been going on for 2 days now. It has happened before but only lasted about a day. I have it inside where it can see the others and it try's to talk but only a few peeps then lays back over. It's eating and drinking fine and poop looks normal. I even gave it wormer and vet rx for colds with no luck. Anything else I could try? Maybe it's something it's ate? I've inspected the legs they both look normal, no abrasions or breaks. Vet's in the area say they don't deal with guinea's.

Put some electrolytes and probiotics in her water and give her some poultry nutridrench to help strengthen her up.

What would cause these symptoms? I give them 16% protein food plus treat blocks with meal worms and sunflower seeds.

She could be weak or have some type of sickness although I’m not sure what. I’d start with the products I recommend above and see if that helps.
How is her poop? Does it have blood in it?

Three month old guineas should be on a turkey or gamebird grower that is usually 24% protein and has higher levels of lysine, methionine and niacin. Giving too many treats can be harmful to their health. All treats combined should never exceed 10% of their diet.

They should be on a higher protein feed.

No, no blood. Poop is normal.

I dont give it to them everyday once every month or so.
