Potentially Worrying Noise...

Little Ones · Nov 12, 2015

Okay so one of Guinea pigs is making a strange noise, I thought he'd stop but it just seems to be continuing? It would let me attach a video so I posted it on my Instagram

I'm unsure if that's allowed but I don't know how to describe it or how else to post it, sorry if I broke any guidelines, if I did just delete the thread or edit the post or something
It's the most recent post, they went to the vets the other week and he didn't highlight an issue so maybe he's fine?

Sorry I tried to hear the video but I couldn't hear anything.

Sorry I can't hear anything either, can you describe the noise?

You have to listen quite closely on full volume, it's a hard noise to describe, like he has a stuffy nose but it's making a noise kind of thing? I really don't know how to describe it
I just realised the sound probably won't play on the Internet, if you have the app it'll work on there, sorry!

Sorry I don't do Instagram, could you not just load the video directly and we might be able to hear it then?

I was listening with my Chromebook right up to my ear but there was nothing. If he is snuffly it could be allergies but keep an eye out for signs of a URI. Are there any other symptoms?

I can hear the noise. I had the volume up at 100% and with my earphones. It sounds sort of like an odd grunty noise. I hear normal guinea pig sounds to begin with though.

It'll be because Instagram is kinda weird when it comes to videos, like on the app you have to tap to hear the sound so that could be why it doesn't work, I don't think there are any other symptoms, he's stopped making the noise since I think but I can't be 100% as I'm at school most of the day, it was kind of like a really loud snuffy noise, that's the best way I can describe it, I'll keep my eye on him, thank you

If I'm remembering correctly, the normal sounds were from my other pig I think, it's a hard noise to explain right? I'm not sure what it means, he hasn't made it since I don't think but it was kind of worrying as I'd never heard it before

It definitely is. Teh closest I could describe it as is like a warthog or large boar type of sound.
