I think one of my piggies is sick

[Benidict+Opie2020]

I have 2 piggies and I think one of them is a little sick. He still acts normal and is eating and playing with his brother but I’m worried one of his nostrils is clogged up. I don’t know what exactly is wrong and he seems almost completely normal but I want to be sure to catch any sickness before he gets worse. If anyone has any clue do you mind helping me?

He could have something stuck (a little hay dust) up his nose, this will right itself with a good sneeze or he could have the beginnings of a uri in which he will need to see a vet for the correct diagnosis and treatment x

Always best to seek veterinary advice for any concerns, as things can very quickly deteriorate in guinea pigs. Hope he's ok.

too.
If I ever have any concern I go to the vets.
I’d rather be reassured there’s nothing wrong than miss something that could become worse.

Hope your boy is ok

I took him to the vet and I was told it was just some hay dust. Thank goodness

That’s a relief.
Thanks for letting us know

Well done for taking him to the vet. I’m glad it’s nothing to worry about
