I believe your vet is wrong about sugars and dairy. Herbivores generally lack the ability to properly process dairy, and sugars can significantly disrupt the balance of flora in the gut. I understand the need to try to get an ill guinea pig to eat by almost any means possible, but this doesn't seem like a very good recommendation.

At any rate, I'm so sorry you are going through this with Nibbles.

I'm sorry Nibbles is doing so poorly. It may be wisest to take bpatter's advice and not force feed. If she is indeed near the end, her body is likely starting to shut down and force feeding will not help either of you.
