Adult Guinea Pig
Hey,
I've had to boars for a little while now, and basically, one of them (Chester) my fat boy drool makes a weird, what can almost be described as a cough ? or those with a cat like me, a hairball kinda noise.
I have no idea what it is, and it just happens randomly, at first i couldn't figure out who it was, but now i have, he sneezes occasionally too, where as Bentley (my other pig) doesn't.
His eyes sometimes look a little watery but i've checked for hay and stuff and theres nothing ever there so i've always ignored it.
In him self he seems fine, he's the noisy irritating one who likes to jump on his brother when he's sleepy ! and he's just generally himself always curious and getting very confident with himself.
I've only just started weighing him and only done it twice, first time he was 1.5lbs, 2nd time around 1.6lbs and so is not loosing weight!
He's eating normally, which in his case is stuffing his face, he's drinking normally, he's always drank alot.
He lives on sawdust, could this be part of the reason ?
Just want some advice, i have a vet who's helped with pet hamsters in the past so i know could help with my piggies if needs be, just wanna know if theres something i can keep an eye on at home before i send him off for any vet checks
