Junior Guinea Pig
Sorry, I haven't been on here for a while but things have been v busy I don't want to be someone who only comes here for advice...! I plan to get the internet at home soon so I should get more time on here.
My rescued pig Colin is about a year and a half. I've had him since November. Some evenings I hear him breathing loudly, like a wheezing noise. It gets quite loud, although he is perfectly happy and eating well. I'm not sure whether to take him to the vets or not - the problem being that he doesn't do it all the time. Currently I hear him do it about once or twice a week for about half an hour each time.
He has always been on woodshavings, even before he came to me, so I don't think it can't be related to that. At the moment I use a layer of newspaper, a layer of shavings and a layer of shredded paper on top.
Any ideas?
