Guinea Pig Sneezing

[Alanna Skye]

Hey! I have 2 guinea pigs sneezing and I know it could be serious so I’ve called the vet but I only have one exotic vet near me and they won’t see them at this time due to them currently having 3 pets there with covid, So is there anyway I can try helping them myself at home?

Hi!

How long have you had your guinea pigs?
New guinea pigs: Sexing, vet checks&customer rights, URI, ringworm and parasites

Can you have your piggies vet checked by a general vet for potential URI (respiratory infection)? Any vet should be able to check the airways.
It can be just a sensitivity to their new much more complex surroundings with more hay dust, pollen and irritants but as URI is a potential killer or can cause permanent damage if left un- or underteated, you want to make sure that that angle is taken care of first.
