Hi all,
My guinea pig, Momo is currently 5 years old and has what appears to be a choking fit yesterday for the second time in 3 months. both times she looked and sounded like she was popping for about a minute or two (don’t know how to describe it, see the first few seconds of attached video). Once I syringed her some water or liquid vitamin C both times, she stopped and went about her day like nothing happened. I took her to the vet a week ago and brought it up, but anything dental was ruled out as her physical was good and all her teeth were examined and came back fine. Could it be that she’s just been a greedy pig and it’s getting tougher for her to clear her windpipe or should I get a second opinion?
