Question
my female guinea pig is very aggressive towrds me. every time i oick her up she spueaks like crazy and her squeak sounds different to what it sounded like when i got her, more well lower and kind of airish. is she sick, pregnant, scared or what!!!!!!  

Answer
Maria,

I am so sorry I am just now getting back to you with an answer. I am so so sorry.

It is normal for Guinea Pigs to squeak when being picked up. As Guinea Pig get older their squeaks change some get louder and others get softer. If she is still making the same kind of squeaks when you sit down with her then there is nothing to worry about as this is her normal squeak. If it isn't the same lower and airish squeaking when you sit down with her then she is probably just scared. Check her lungs to make sure they sound clear. If the lungs are clear then she is fine and if not then take her to the vet. Other then that there is really no other reason for the change in her squeaks.

I hope this helps,
  Take care,
