My guinea pig is sick!

Question
Hi,
 My guinea pig is sick.He is not eating. He has very weird breathing patterns that sounds VERY unusual. He hides in his igloo all the time until we get him out to hold him. He is not peeing or pooping.He also has buggers around his nosriles and sneezes quiet often. We think he has a cold...
What do you think is wrong with my guinea pig?

Answer
Hi Kristina

It does sound like your piggy has a cold but if it has got to the stage where he is not eating then it has probably turned onto his chest, hence the breathing. Get him to a vet asap who will give him some antibiotics to get rid of the infection.
