Hi All!
first off thank you for having this lovely forum, it is very helpful an I've been checking it out as visitor for a while, as a beginner guinea pig owner (5 month) I have so much questions and of course concerns.

my small piggy (male - 7 month old) is having seizure or hiccups (I don't know if guinea pigs can do it) like complains, 3-4 month ago he displayed this, we took him to vet and vet said it is not seizure as he can still see and eat and breath well,
today he did it again and more aggressively as you can see below (more clear at the end of the video), we gave him a pea flake and he took it, but we are scared that the vet might not be able to diagnose this well, we are still going there this week, but thought to post here if someone has an experience what it is


Thank you very much in advance.
 
Hi and welcome

It is difficult to see from your video but it looks more like hiccups to me. However if in any doubt, please see a vet, in case there is an underlying problem.

Thank you! indeed he made a small hiccup like noise, thats why I think so,

I get them checked monthly and his next check is next week, but going to go earlier,

Thank you for your answer.
