coughing

So my 6-month old teddy guinea pig does this thing where, after she’s eaten, she like burps / coughs and then seems to be chewing & then swallows it again? It’s like a smelly burp and I don’t know if this is normal as she eats quite fast but my other guinea pig (same gender and age) doesn’t do...

Hello, I have a question about my guinea pigs health, one of them had started coughing from about a week ago, I decided to let it play out and see if it was because of eating too fast or something, but now she has started to get that crackly breathing that guinea pigs get when they are sick, she...

Hi all how are you? I'm a little mad and worried about my guinea pig recently she's been coughing and she used to cough before, today she's coughed like five to ten times in one day, and I really wish I was exaggerating but it's the truth I've tooken her to the vets twice before once four to...

Today I took my girls, Dandelion and Orchid to the vet because I had heard some caught going last night. It turns out they have URIs. They were prescribed Tribrissen. How long will it take for noticeable improvement on this medication. They are eating and drinking normally but I worry that they...

hi, i got new guinea pigs around 2 weeks ago, at first we didn’t have them in our room and now we have moved them into our room i have recently noticed a bit of sneezing and coughing, i’m pretty sure it might just be while they’re eating but i’m not certain i have checked for other symptoms of...

my pig marvin has just recovered from GI stasis and is now concerning me with a new issue. he has only done this twice, but after his recent health scare, I’m worried. he will make these little groaning noises, cough, and then feel fine afterward and goes back to normal seemingly. is he just...

Hi! I have three piggies, all sows, and when i give them their veggies someone lets out a cough. I only hear one cough from one of them, not quite sure who, but ive seen all of them do it. Again, its only once and they carry on eating as normal once they have a good cough. And its only when they...

Hi. My guinea pig Florrie started sneezing and coughing quite a bit last night. Originally I thought she was choking on a bit of food but she did this a few times when she wasn’t even eating. I was going to bring her to the vets this morning but she has since stopped sneezing or coughing. The...

So I posted recently that my guinea pig started sneezing like crazy, I toke him to the vet and the vet said its too early and to only bring them back (the one who is sneezing and his brother) if they have nose discharge. However recently he started coughing, though I can't tell if thats because...

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. The past few weeks my boyfriend has been suffering with wheezing/difficulty breathing whenever I clean out the guinea pigs. He found out a while ago that he’s allergic so he avoids handling them or being near them for too long, but only recently have these...

Hey guys I’m new to the forum, my piggy Rupert seems to be trying to cough or maybe be choking ? Making a coughing noise and his body is making strong jerky movements. but he is still eating whilst doing so? Unsure what to do because he’s happily eating but is also doing these things too? If...

Hi guys, my guinea pig is making these noises but only seems to make them at night (theyre house pets) but doesn’t make it every night and not all the time... It’s accompanied by sometimes coughing. it sounds like very low effortless squeaking I’ve taken him to the vets and they examined him...

Hello, I recently got two new skinny pigs about a week ago Char(Charcoal) and Scotch. When I first got them I heard small sneezing noises and was highly concerned. I contacted the local pet store where I received them (private owned pet store). The pet store held onto them for a few days and...

Hello, My Guinea pig Tommy looked to be struggling with his breathing last November, so I took him to the vets. The vet said he had a sore throat(?!) and gave me Baytril 2.5% to give him 0.4ml twice daily. I did this, and he seemed to improve. Since then his breathing has been getting...

We were just about to leave the flat today when we heard Artemis making an odd sound. Look round and he's jerking his head forward and making a sound like someone trying to be sick. I know guineas can't actually be sick and it ends up in their lungs (heard from someone - please correct if...

Hello everyone! :) My guinea pig suddenly starts to sneeze or cough. This usually happens randomly like when I'm petting her or after she eats hay. I know guinea pigs sometimes cough when they eat to fast but I'm still really worried cause this started happening 1 1\2 weeks ago.

I have a 5 month old Abyssinian who is a bit of a medical mystery. I took her to the vet about a month ago because she started coughing frequency. She got diagnosed with mild pneumonia and we started Baytril twice a day for 10 days. It is hard to say if it actually helped or not, she still...

Hi All! I have a piggy called Monty who is just over 2 years old. He lives with his brother Trevor. Trevor's fine and doesn't have any problems. They live in a massive cage with a paper based bedding. It's got a hay rack in it as well of course, with water, pellets etc. I've had guinea pigs...

Hi there, My three little piggies that I brought home last Monday haven't been doing too great (we think they may have had this before we got them as they were showing symptoms then as well - milder though). They've all been sneezing and coughing quite a lot, as well as scratching - the...

Hi there! I'm a new Guinea pig owner and have had two 5 month-olds for about a month. Tonight as I was feeding one of them veg he coughed really loudly (scared the crap out of me and his buddy). I thought he had just gotten something stuck in his throat and he seemed fine. Then ten minutes...
