Weird Noises?

luckyandsammy · May 1, 2016

I just gave the piggies their veggies and I noticed Sammy is making weird noises. He has never made them before so I'm worried.

I would like to post a video so you guys can hear it but I'm not sure how?
So I will post it on my Instagram @jessecharlienuky and if someone could look at it I would be very grateful!

I don't know when he started making them because I just came back from work and he was fine before I left.

My phone won't let me post it for some reason.

I put it on my Instagram.

You can't upload videos directly here, you need to upload to YouTube or something else then post the link

It sounds like he is a bit snuffly, has he got discharge around his nose? If he keeps doing it I would take him to the vet as respiratory infections can be serious in guinea pigs. He does seem to be munching quite happily though, which is a good sign.

His nose looks normal, his eyes are okay too.
I picked him up and held him for about 20 minutes and he made the noises the whole time, he made them for a while after I put him back. I left my room for a few minutes and when I came back he was laying in his strawberry hut quietly! But then he got up to drink some water and he started making them again.
I thought he might be in pain but he's acting normal. He's peeing and pooping and he ran up a ramp to go eat hay so I'm really confused.

I would definitely get him checked by a vet tomorrow if possible, in case it is the start of a URI, they can take hold very quickly so I wouldn't take any chances

He's not making them today and he's still acting normal so I'm not sure what it was
