Re: Guinea pig with allergies... help!

I am pretty sure that I have an un-daignosed alergetic pig, my Charlie. He can't be on kiln-drien pine bedding, it is the wierdest thing. I had used it for a bit but then he started exhibiting URI like symptoms(sniffeling and wheezing) so I seperated him from Chewie, other pig, right away and put him in a temp cage with towels as bedding and after an hour or two, he was fine. It was so wierd, this had happened twice before I realized it must be the bedding. So I switched to fleece, I do use the kilndried pine in the hay box, but the small amount and not being on it fully doesnt bother him. He also seems to be a lil sneezey/sniffely/wheezy when there is high humidity (which Missouri unfortunatly has a lot of!) I am not sure if it is the humidity it self or the other junk it stirs up though.
