Hi I'm Layla I'm a new guinea pig owner
My Pregnant (unintentionally) Guinea pig has been squealing the last 3-4 times she has gone poop.
She will be 2 months pregnant on Oct 20th . I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it
It is not a terribly loud squeal but is unusual for her.
 
If there is unusual behaviour, especially when it could also be an indicator of pain, I would have a vets trip to be on the safe side. Risks in pregnancy are extremely high and I wouldn't want you leaving it too long and putting mum and babies at any further risk
 
Pain when trying to poo could be a urine infection that may require antibiotics to clear and possibly pain relief medication (I don't actually know if that's possible while she's pregnant though). I'd get her to the vets to check, it could be one of a few things, better to get it seen to especially as she is pregnant.

Please see a vet. It could be a urinary tract infection or a baby pressing on a crucial area, but that is up to the vet to decide.
Please take the time to read our pregnancy guides at the top of our pregnancy section (visible only to registered members), especially the diet guide. They have been specifically written for members that are facing an unplanned pregnancy without previous experience. The guides cover the whole period in a detailed and practical way, leaving out all the confusing and - especially in view of a pregnancy diet - often grossly got out of hand online/breeder advice.
