How to Treat Guinea Pig Colds, Bronchitis, and Pneumonia
Guinea pig colds, bronchitis, and pneumonia need different care. Colds take enrofloxacin or sulfadimidine; bronchitis needs higher-dose antibiotics plus an expectorant (carbetapentane or ammonium chloride); pneumonia is urgent — enrofloxacin plus Shuanghuanglian IV, aminophylline for breathing trouble, all at a vet. Isolate sick pigs and treat fast, as pneumonia can kill in 2–3 days.

Four days ago it stopped eating and drinking, hid, no stool or urine, and at night vomited pale-yellow watery fluid with a faint fishy smell. Cephalosporin prescribed.
The report alone can't confirm a diagnosis; further PCR for respiratory/coronavirus, ultrasound, X-ray, and bloodwork are advised. With yellow vomit, fever, and breathing trouble, rule out FIP first; coughing suggests upper-respiratory infection.
