sneezing

i jus bought a guinea pig and it sneezes a little. She doesn't have any other symptoms. I am using pine bedding and i am not sure what is best to use. I was also wondering if it is possible for her to have allergies such as hay fever ect.

Re: no worries

Wizard814,
All cavies will sneeze occasionally. Just like people. But if your cavy sneezes often, you may need to get him to a vet.
It could be the bedding you are using. I also use Pine bedding, and all 17(fixing to be 20!) piggies like it without sneezing. Good Luck to you!

Cutest little sneezes

My piggies sneeze sometimes too - the hay can make them sneeze just like it makes me sneeze sometimes! :) I took them for a vet checkup and they are healthy, so if there aren't other symptoms, that's probably it.

Re: sneezing

Is the pine kiln-dried? This could be the problem. Try bedding on towels for a few days and see if this helps.

sneezing

If your piggy is sneezing a lot, take it to you gp vet and see what they think. If you are looking for bedding that is not as dusty as shavings you may be able to try carefresh pet bedding. It is recycled paper and a 50 liter bag is about $20.00. A bit expensive, but it may help in the long run. Just a thought...Good Luck!!
