stuffy, sneezing guinea pig

Question
this is our second guinea pig that we bought from the local pet store. the first
one was our baby, but died sadly four weeks later. now our other guinea pig,
mo, had a crusty eye. we took him to the vet and she gave us antibiotics. he's
been done with them for about a week and a half and now he is stuffy and
sneezing? is there anything we can do for him? we are worried and love this little
guy to death!

Answer
Hi Raichelle

It sounds like your local store doesnt do a very good job in looking after their animals.

You can give a small dab of vicks vapour rub on each nostril to clear up any minor chest cold, but it must be a very small dab. Also give Mo plenty of vitamin c rich food and keep him warm.

Can you tell me what type of bedding you use please.

thanks
