Today Chika seemed to have a coughing fit, she kept doing a cough as if she had something trapped.

At the moment its stopped and she is busy exploring again. Me and the other half let her drink from the water bottle and it seems too have helped.

before she started coughing she had been eating and running around.

She just did another cough just now, but she is munching on some hay.

i read on another thread that young guinea pigs can sometime eat to fast and this makes them cough.

She is still acting like herself.
Can anyone help with why she is coughing and what i should do?
 
It may be she has ate too quick, please keep an eye on her, if she continues to do it please take her to the vets as it could be the start of a URI. Hope she is okay.
 
Thank you :) i will.

My OH said she most probably eat too quickly. It has stopped now and she is running around with Flicka. I have read up on URI, so i will keep my eye out for signs.

She seems okay now, so finger crossed she was just being a pig and eating too quickly
