Guinea pig head tilt, hooting

[wheeks_squeeks]

My guinea pig, Cookie, has a head tilt and a ,, hooting" sound when he sniffs. We brang him to the vet a few times and they said it might either be an ear infection or a neurological problem (e-cuniculi). The vet prescribed a 2 week course of antibiotics for the ear infection but it didn't seem to work, though I think it did heal him from discharge from the nose.

They gave us a longer course of antibiotics for a month and also told us to start giving him panacur, if it is a parasite (neuro) problem. I didn't finish the antibiotic course, were still giving him it, but he still isn't getting better. The vet knows it's not something like pneumonia. Did anyone elses guinea pig have a problem like this, a head tilt or a ,, hooting" sound when sniffing?

Also, he did have cold like symptoms but the antibiotics stopped some of them, but he still sneezes after the ,,hoots'x

I’m sorry to hear this.

Your vet is trying the things which would first come to mind - antibiotics and a course of panacur.

There is another illness which your vet may consider but it’s not all that common in Europe
CBS (Calcified Bulla Syndrome) and Neurological Problems - Symptoms and Care

I hope he is ok and his issue is something which can be dealt with
