Question

i do a health check with my piggies everyday and yesterday after belles bath her nose was slightly runny people say they can not get colds but people say it might be a problem with her respiratory system shes going to the vets today shall i just see what she says or just leave it!!

Answer 1

if it has discharge coming out from anywhere else (eyes, ears)

then your piggy might have a respiratory infection...my giunea pig had this and cleared up but my other one hed this and ended up having an infection and died...

give it a couple of days and it might clear up, if not go to your vet

hope this helped:)

p.s if you clean its cage or anything around it with a strong disinfectant, then change it immediately! you never know, it might be gone the next day!

Answer 2

If you really care you should go your pet might have just got sick it is possible

Answer 3

Don't worry, it's probably nothing, but it's worth getting checked out. This sometimes happens with small animals. I wouldn't think it was a respiratory problem, because it's only small. Also, because you gave her a bath first, that was probably what caused it. Get it checked out though, just to put your mind at ease.

Answer 4

I would see what the vet says. Guinea pigs are just like the majority of all animals and they can be suseptible to respiratory problems. I do know that they can not be placed on pine or cedar bedding as that can cause them to get ill.  If your piggie does have a cold, you will also see it in her eyes. They will be red and irritated and have gunk in them.
