Choking noise

[Alexwink123]

So I have a guinea pig and I got him this new food and I found out it has seeds on it so I decided just to take the seeds out which I did but when I put it in his bowl he starting eating and than he was scratching his noise a lot with his arms and I thought that was kinda weird and I thought he was choking but he wasn’t he starting drinking water and eating hay and was fine but what does choking sound like I already know what to do if he is but I wanna know so yeah

I think I've heard my piggies cough/choke before and it really just sounds like what you think it'd sound like - quite human-like if you ask me. It usually resolves after a few coughs for my girls. What kind of food are you feeding your pig?

yes, mine do this too; usually when they are trying to eat their veggies really quickly so they don't have to share!
I still find it worrying though and go to see what's happening, but they have always been fine

I’ve been feeding him Tropical carnival gourmet food & treats and I never had any problems with this until yesterday so I may just be Over reacting

You may want to take a look at this helpful post about pellets vs. muesli Pellets Or Muesli / Dry Mix? I personally would suggest switching him over to pellets so that he has a more well balanced diet and doesn't get too picky with his food!
