We got our two piggies a month ago from a pet store, ( I didn't know anybetter) and I noticed one of them sneezing on and off and pawing at her nose right after we got her. I did not think much of it. However Sunday night my daughter noticed her making a funny sound. I did not recognize it from her regular sounds. She seemed a little horse and I summed it up to all her squeeking. Last night she was not eating much. She loves carrots and lettuce but took a bite or two and walked off back to her corner. She is very social but bit my son when he put his hand in the cage. Not hard just a nip. I put some fresh hay in for her and she nibbled away. I also notice when she is resting she is breathing heavily. Her sides have rapid movement, but today she is eating a little bit better but def. not her normal and drinking her water. I have made her a vet appt. for tomorrow at 3:30 but do I need to seperate her from the other guinea. They were in the same cage when I bought them, but Ginger is showing no signs of illness. They are both 5 months old.........If this is a URI what is the cost I am looking at for the antibiotic. I want to be prepared. Thanks!
