My Guinea pig has been sneezing for a little while now, exotics vets have ruled out URI (due to multiple courses of antibiotics and no other systems including other Guinea pig in same cage being fine!)… so I decided further tests needed to be done… they took swabs of his nose etc.
results have come back clear , although inflammation in nostril.
Vet has said possible piece of hay stuck in his nose.
However they have also suggested a CT scan to make sure it’s not anything else.
He will need to be sedated, but should I ask next for camera up his nose and for them to treat accordingly if something up his nose or CT first (which they suggested).. it is so expensive and I have to travel an hour to them.
I just don’t know what to do and would like past experience with this as I’m just so worried!
 
I do not have any experience with this but I do know how tiring it is trying to find the stem of an issue in piggies.

So I will wish you the best and I hope you can get to the bottom of the issue soon x
 
Is he's still happy and well in himself personally I'd get them to have a look up his nose first, if that's more affordable for you.
Hopefully you won't need the CT scan at all!
Best of luck 🤞❤️
