Ask around! Guinea Lynx does have a helpful guide on how to find a vet, but asking fellow guinea pig care-takers on a forum or in real life will help you learn from their experiences.

While visiting a vet may be expensive, it is the most helpful thing to do for your cavy. If you absolutely cannot go to the vet, Guinea Lynx has a good medical guide with some information on what to do. The LA Guinea Pig Rescue youtube channel has some helpful instructions as well, and during live sessions they will usually answer any questions you might have. Keep in mind that these options are not replacements for veterinary care.
