Crusty eyes and sneezing in a guinea pig are often symptoms of an upper respiratory infection (URI). URIs are very common in guinea pigs and can quickly become serious if left untreated, potentially leading to pneumonia. Other signs might include nasal discharge, lethargy, or decreased appetite. You should schedule an appointment with a veterinarian experienced with small mammals promptly. They can prescribe antibiotics and offer advice on supportive care to help your guinea pig recover. Maintaining a clean cage and a dust-free environment can help prevent these infections.
