Hello,

We made the decision to bring our boar chewie (4yrs old) inside last night as its getting so cold. He is on his own this winter since his bro died in august :(
So first year on his own - they previously lived outside and coped each winter.

He has been sneezing quite a bit since we brought him in and have a funny low breathing noise (he is known to have respitory problems for a few years and nothing has fixed that yet he is healthy otherwise).
 
Have you taken him to a vet recently to rule out a URI?

It could also be an allergy. Are you using different bedding now that he is inside to what you were before?
 
In addition to the above...do you spray any aerosols or light candles in the room he's in? Guinea pigs have quite sensitive airways so these things can cause issues.
Have you got a new bag of hay lately? It may be a bit dusty.
Are his eyes or nose runny at all? This could indicate a URI

Hopefully it isn't a URI and is something simple that can be managed.
