I have had my two guinea pigs, bean and franny, for just over a year now and I have notice franny has been making weird noises. It kinda of sounds like a bad cough she can get out or a frog in her throat when she breaths. It does not happen very often, it had happened about maybe 7 times but really spread out. And it doesn't last long, she is fine after about 10 minutes. When she was having them I gave her a little neck massage (lol) to see if that would help and she stopped a couple minutes later.

I would just like to know if I should be concerned or take her to a vet. Thank you so much in advance!
 
Does it happen when she’s been eating or is it just random? in any event, I would take her to a vet for any breathing issue. Perhaps try to get it on video so you can show the vet
 
it does mostly happen when she is eating. is it something very serious?
 
We aren’t vets so cannot diagnose anything. piggies do have narrow airways though and if they eat or drink too fast it can cause them to cough. However, we can’t say that that is definitely what is happening in your case so you should see a vet if you are concerned
 
Okay thank you so much! If she starts doing it a lot i will definitely take her to the vet, but right now its not too concerning. I think i´m going to take both of them in for a check up though. Thanks again :))
