Hi, sorry if I'm not posting this in the right place, I'm not sure how this works. I have 4 guinea pigs, I was feeding them just now and heard a weird sound. I think one of my guinea pigs must have sneezed because when I looked she had a little bit of a snotty nose. She's been lively and eating well and I tried to listen to her breathing which sounds fine. Her nose has also been clean other than this one time and I haven't noticed any of them sneezing any other times. Is this likely to be anything worrying? Should I just keep an eye on it for now? The vets is closed now since its late but I could try to take her tomorrow if needed.
 
Just keep a close eye on it for now. It’s probably just a one off. But you are right a vet visit will be needed if it gets worse or other symptoms show up.
 
My piggy’s sneeze sometimes but I never notice any discharge from the nose. I would keep a close eye on them and watch for any other symptoms that she’s not well ( not eating as much, lethargic, hunched up) hopefully it’s just a one off
