Junior Guinea Pig
so, I got home from work yesterday morning and Scrappy was making cough-type noises. I here the piggies do that once in a while, but she kept on and on doing it and wouldn't eat breakfast. so I took her to the vets, putting a bit of apple in her carrier in case she felt she wanted to try and eat.
Vet couldn't see or hear anything untoward, so it was just a case of keeping an eye and ear on her. From the second we left the vets, she stopped coughing, ate the apple and generally was just like her usual self. Little horror! Is my piggy attention seeking or did I over-react?
lol... I think she may have had something like hay sticking in her throat, and the exam by the vet helped dislodge it. Better safe than sorry though..... despite the unnecessary appointment fee!
Good job my piggies are such cuties
