Hello, I have a 2 year old guinea pig and she’s recently been acting odd. She had some of the same symptoms a few months ago, but was seen at the vet and everything was fine. Anyways, she’s been sounding like a goose. Which is the only way to explain it. She is doing her normal everyday activities, but I’m worried that she has Upper Respiratory. If anyone could help me or have something similar with their guinea pig?

Please see a vet to check she doesn’t have an upper respiratory infection (URI)

I agree with the others. Get her checked for URI by a vet just to rule it out again. If after you get her checked nothing was found and this noisy breathing doesn’t persist then I’d say it was likely to have been hay dust. Guinea pigs have tiny airways so any dust can produce loud breathing. But definitely get her seen by a vet as she may need antibiotics
