Trovalsa
New Born Pup
My older guinea pig sometimes starts crying and shows a bit of a head tilt. It always tilts to the right, but it normally doesn't last longer than a couple of minutes. When it happens, he just stands there crying but once it goes away he goes off as if nothing had happened. We have been to the vet, he checked his ears and gave him a muscle relaxant. (don't know if this is the right word) We got the piggie in November last year and he's had this ever since January or February, which was when we took him to the vets (I think that by then it had happened at least once.) Since then, he's only had them a few times.. Once every two months, I believe.
Then suddenly, this Wednesday, he had it again. Then on Thursday and Friday too, around the morning feeding time. Yesterday, he had it twice, and today around 10am too. The problem is that if I take him to the vet, he will probably say that it's nothing again. I could try a different one but my mum works nearly everyday and I don't have transportation there. However, if it really is needed, I'm sure we'll be able to go there.
I just wanted to know... Have any of you ever experienced this, do you have any hints as to what is happening? Should I take him to the vets again? He's eating, pooping and peeing fine, he gets along with his cage mate fine, except for the occasional row. We thought it might be tooth ache but he eats normally and seems perfectly healthy except for that... Mites were an option too but his fur is fine, and he hasn't been scratching more than normal.
Apologies for any horrible English mistakes.

Unfortunately, the closest vet is two hours away... I'll see what I can do, though. I've taken a look at their website and liked the look of it. I can't take him this week though but I'll see about doing so next week, I still have to talk to mum about it. If she doesn't want to take him I might be able to get a lift and take him myself. In the meantime, I'll keep an eye on the piggie. He does seem fine now, there hasn't been any head tilting today, but I'll keep a close look.
