Question
hello georgia

One of my guinea pigs is sometimes does a little sneeze noise.I dont think she has a cold because she dosn't have watery eyes or a runny nose.Could she just be sniffing or just does that noise for no reason.Please may you give me some advice and tell me why this is happening

thank you very much

Answer
hiya lily, usually guinea pigs who sneeze, have runny eyes and nose have breathing problems or bateria infections. listen to see if her breathing is normal. if she sneezes a little then that is normal but if she sneezes a lot, then take her to the vet. i hope this helps. please contact me if you have any further questions.
