Hello there. I have two guinea pigs. About an hour ago, one of my guinea pig started to make this really weird noise. I can't describe it well but it's short and continuous, and it sounds like an oink. It's a deep sounding voice. I've gone onto many websites to see if any of the sounds match what she's making but I can't find it. It also comes and gos, sometimes loud and sometimes quiet. She also does this thing where I also can't describe it. It's almost like she choked on something and she closes her eyes and rubs her face a little. Then it's gone. It sometimes comes back now and then. I saw somewhere that sometimes guinea pig noses gets a little bit wet but I'm unsure if it's factual. The other guinea pig I own doesn't do any of the things she's doing, no noises and no actions.
In conclusion, I'm afraid my guinea pig's sick but I don't know if it's something I'm paranoid about or something serious. There's also another concern where I think the vet around where I live, Canada, is very expensive. I don't know if I am able to afford the vet bills. It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I'm afraid I might not be able to pay.
Please help if you can to maybe identify what my guinea pig is doing because it concerns me a little. Thank you so so much.
