laboured breathing and weight loss?

[avamai]

hello, first time poster here.

i have two guinea pigs, fifi and bow. i got them when they were 7 weeks old and have had them for a year and a half.
(these are my first guinea pigs however i have owned rodents in the past.)

fifi seems healthy and fine, however i have noticed a difference in weight between them. bow seems skinnier and her breathing seems laboured.

should i take them to the vet or is there a way i can help her?

Go to the vet as soon as you can.
With any health concern it’s a good idea as piggies can deteriorate fast.
Let us know how things go
