Piggy fats breathing fast

Laying down looks like he is sleeping and i notice his breathing seems fast is something wrong?

Hi!

Is he lying on his side? Guinea pigs breathe much more quickly than we humans but it is especially noticeable when they lie on their side and one flank is pushed up.

Nothing the matter - it's just that the breathing is most visible in that position and can give you a bad moment. ;)
