Guinea Pigs weird sound

Question
Hi,
I recently purchased a female piggy. She's 3 mths. old. For two days now she's been making an extremely weird noise. It kinda sounds like a high pitch cough. It's not a sneeze b/c she had a mild URI and I know what that sound is.  I'm a little worried. What do you think it is? Is there a website that might have guinea pig cough sounds? Thanks so very much.

Answer
Hi Ida,

I don't know of any websites that play sounds of guinea pig noises, I'm afraid. Have you noticed discharge from her ears, eyes or nose at all? She could have a cold. If you're concerned it will be best to get her checked out by a specialist small animal or exotic pet vet.

Good luck and if you have any other questions, just ask.

Jenny.
