Question
Hi,Im a fraid I think my pregnet guineapig millie has a little cold she almost keeps sneezing and has a little bit of a running nose too!Can you please tell mehow I can cure this little cold? before it becomes worse.from kathleen

Answer
Hi Kathleen

If its just a simple cold, a small dab of vicks on each nostril usually does the trick.

Listen closely to her breathing and if you can hear a click noise between inhale and exhale then an infection is present which will need antibiotics.
