Petals
New Born Pup
Some background info-
A few months ago I adopted 2 female guinea pigs. They are now 5-6 months old, and live in a 16 square foot enclosure. We use reusable pee pads as bedding, and sometimes use paper bedding in their litterbox. Each guinea pig gets a Vitamin C tablet daily.
Well my one of my guinea pigs, Little One (her nickname) suddenly stopped wheeking. Well, she tries to wheek, but all that comes out is a horse whisper. I was concerned at first because I thought she had a cold or a respiratory infection, but she showed (and still shows) no signs of a runny nose, watery eyes, labored breathing etc. She is a very active little piggy and loves to run around her cage at top speed, showing no signs of being injured or lethargic. She also chirps a lot, and her chirps are completely normal and at normal volume. Her purr is quiet, but you can hear it (like a whisper-purr). I haven't found much information about guinea pigs losing their wheek, and was wondering if anyone on here can help me out? Little One used to wheek normally, but the last time she REALLY wheeked was like 2 months ago, and when she did it I thought she would go back to wheeking as normal but then she resumed her whisper-wheeks. Besides her wheeking, she seems completely normal and healthy, and she interacts with her sister normally. What do you guys think?
