Guinea pigs commonly develop ear infections that lead to a head tilt and loss of balance. This can become permanent and worsen over time if not treated. It is painful and requires (typically) oral antibiotic treatment. Please, please seek the attention of an EXOTIC SPECIALIST vet ASAP so that they can prescribe the proper antibiotic. Below is information from guinealynx, an excellent website on guinea pig care. EAR INFECTION
If your guinea pig experiences difficulty walking or holds it's head tilted to one side, see a vet immediately. Prompt treatment is critical for complete recovery. This can indicate a bacterial infection of the inner ear requiring topical and/or oral antibiotics. A vet will also check for parasites and other conditions.
