My guinea pig is making wheezing sounds. Should I be worried?

[]

Answer

Wheezing in a guinea pig is a serious symptom and often indicates a respiratory infection, which can quickly become life-threatening if not treated. Guinea pigs are very prone to these infections. Other signs might include nasal or eye discharge, sneezing, lethargy, or loss of appetite. It's important to provide a warm, dust-free environment. Do not delay in seeking veterinary attention if your guinea pig is wheezing, as they will likely need antibiotics. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
