Hey guys, so I have this Guinea Pig named George, only a couple months old, very young.
I recently had troubles balancing their diet while moving houses, as I still had them at the old house for a week before bringing them to the new one. Anyways to put it short, I dont think I fed them enough veggies nor vitamin c. Plenty of hay and water though.
There were no obvious problems at first, he was still his normal dominant self over the other guineas.
Anyways, after a few days being moved to the new house, he began to have redness under his eye and wouldnt drink any water, nor make any noise (even when scared, in pain or excited)
One thing George always did, was scream when he heard a packet crunch, for food, he doesnt do this anymore. When he tries it sounds much like wheezing and makes very little actual sound.
After a week I got him back up and running, drinking water, PLENTY of vegetables and vitamin c, honestly he looks great. His fur is the best its been, he runs around and popcorns ALL the time when he gets out his enclosure and plays with his friend nonstop. A literal bundle of energy and joy, but the one thing that stuck with him is his voice. He still cant squeek with excitement, no matter how hard he tries? The redness is gone in his eye, everything looks perfectly fine except his voice, is this normal and come in phases for young guineas or should I take him to the vet?
Thanks for listening to this vent, just completely lost for ideas. Little dudes perfectly fine other than his voice, and not sure if its just normal for his age.
