Last night I thought Rusty had laboured breathing, his sides were going in and out rapidly and his head was bobbing up and down. This morning he was still doing it, I showed him to my partner who agreed the breathing was not normal. The only appointment the vets had left was a very expensive emergency slot, I took it as I thought this was too urgent to wait until their next regular appointment on Friday. I handed Rusty over in the carpark with a note explaining all the relevant details. The vet phoned me and asked for a description of what he had been doing, she had given him a thorough examination and could find nothing unusual. The vet said he is very healthy and has got over his stone operation beautifully. When we got home I had a good look at him and he was breathing normally with that 'what' expression guinea pigs are so good at. He is now on watch at home, I am to take him back for a scan if it happens again. I'm really hoping we don't have to make a return trip.
