Sporgan
Junior Guinea Pig
i have recently been worried about my 1 year old Guinea pig Morgan.
2 weeks ago he started hooting and sniffling a lot and after research took him to the vets to check for an URI. The vet (a cavy specialist) couldn't hear anything wrong but just incase put him on antibiotics for 5 days. When I went back for a check up after the course the vet said everything sounded the same and he probably just got something stuck in his airways like hay.
He was fine during the antibiotics but now a week later he has started sniffling again like he has a blocked nose. But chirping completely normally apart from the odd hoot every hour or so.
Does anyone else's Guinea pig do this just or is it a cause for concern?
The vet can't seem to find anything wrong and she is a cavy specialist so I don't want to keep panicking and running back to spend a lot of money when my baby has been given a clean bill of health.
Thank you in advance fellow Guinea mums and dads
