Junior Guinea Pig
I have a young P@H piggy - 10 weeks roughly. He has been doing great, putting weight on and happily living alone. Once his quarantine time was up he was slowly introduced to a slightly older piggy (14 weeks) and the two got off to a great start. We had them in the neutral play area on wednesday, and surprisingly they had a little scuffle ( younger likes to hump olders head) and nipped each others noses - no heavy bleeding but definitely with intent.
They parted ways and were in together again yesterday for some socialising and got on great again.
Anyway, since the little scuffle the younger piggy has been sneezing every once in a while. Not regular enough to be overly concerned. On closer inspection I noticed he had a snotty nose also. It was dry but crusty. I picked some bits off - definitely green and not a skin issue. I have been googling like crazy since and wondering if it is URI or just allergy? He is eating and drinking fine, no lethargy, no crusty eyes. I checked him this morning and the crusty stuff isn't back - should I just keep an eye on him for now?
