Question
Hi, i have just got two guinea pigs and i am abit worried about one of them because now and again i hear it cough/choke and i dont reallyy no , why or if it does it ....but can u tell me thankyou

Answer
Hi Kate

Ok he may have a respiratory infection or is sick
He also may have a cold
Does he sneeze?
Keep him inside for a couple a days and keep him warm
If he is still not well
Then you may need to see a vet
I am pretty sure that you can by cough syrup for guinea pigs but it might depend where you live
Have a look around to see what there
I hope this has helped in any way possible
If you have any more questions then feel free to ask
Good Luck
Mitchell
