Weird Noise?

[Wigwig]

Sometimes archie makes this weird squeaking straining noise, like the noise you would make if constipated, yet his poops are fine, and he does them fine, he is doing and behaving normally except for this strange noise sometimes, its not every week he makes it. Is he in pain or something? He never seems to be, I check him all over.

Could be urinary tract, does he make it while he is peeing?

He could be in a little discomfort. Piggies can squeak when they wee (and also when they poo) if they have a UTI. If it is just a mild infection, then he wouldn't necessarily do this every time he wees/poos.

Have you noticed any signs of blood of pink wee in the cage? Is he eating/drinking normally, and has he lost any weight recently? If this has been happening for the last few days, and was more than just a one-off, then a vet visit would certainly be recommended - even if just to put your mind at rest.

He doesnt do it when weeing or pooping, its at night when hes been asleep or just sort of lurking, hes drinking and eating fine, no weight change, wee is normal color. Its just occasional strange noise, maybe its wind? I would say hes in perfect health tbh.
