runny nose, dribbling

Question
my guinea pig, Honey has recenly got a runny nose an is dribbling heaps!! when she's on the ground for a bit she leaves a huge dribble patch she has a friend, a black guinea pig called Gizmo and seems happy but is really sleepy when held. i dont know if anythings wrong but thought id better check

Answer
Hello Tegan,

Double check, is it her nose or her mouth? If she's drooling, it is probably a problem with her teeth. If it is a runny nose, she likely has a URI (Upper Respiratory Infection). In either case she needs a vet right away, as either condition can kill her if left untreated. For a URI, she needs antibiotics. For tooth issues, she'll need a dental exam and likely need them filed or trimmed. Good luck!
