I need to give my guinea pig a bath. I have some puppy shampoo and was wondering if that would be ok to use? I've also been hearing one of them sneezing today, should I be worried? What should I do? She doesn't seem to be acting differently/ill.
 
No, puppy shampoo is for puppies! Here is what i use and recommened:

Does the shampoo have any pyrethrins or other medication in it? If it does, do not use it. I use Four Paws Bunny bath, it's 100% safe and doesn't dry out their skin.

How often does she sneeze? Does she have crusty eyes? If you hold her up to your ear, does her breathing sound clicky? Then she may have a URI that needs vet care quickly.
If it's just occasional sneezing, what bedding do you use? If it's dusty, it can irritate their noses.
