My guinea pig is sneezing and snot is coming out. every now it sounds like she is clearing out her nose. Should I be concerned?
 
It’s normal for guinea pigs to sneeze a few times a day, probably no more than 3-4 times though, but snot shouldn’t be coming out of their nose... she could have a respiratory infection, though it might just be a cold, but that can quickly develop into something worse so you should take her to the vets.
 
You should take your piggy to the vet to be checked for a respiratory infection.
(Guinea pigs don’t get colds.)

Okay thank you
 
Agreed with above, your piggie should see a vet. Best of luck!
