Question
what should i do to my guinea pig which seems to be choking on something... she keeps on struggling...and she is also crying... what should i do?

Answer
Jessa,

Sorry for just now getting back to you with an answer.

There isn't really anything you can do if a Guinea Pig is choking other then taking it to the vet. You could try placing her on you shoulder and pat her bottom to calm her down which may help keep her from choking more or even loosen it. But your best option would be to take her to the vet.

I hope this helps and everything is alright with your Guinea Pig,
       Take care,
