I have noticed that over four days, one of my boys, Spencer, has been making a strange noise. I have never heard a pig make it. He did it once the first and second day, three times the third and once the day before yesterday and not since. It took me until the third day to be able to figure out it was him, as I have four pigs. At first I was thinking it was a cough and it was only a few times and didn't sound like an attack or seem like he was in distress, and he looks good, maybe he was just eating too quickly, so I didn't worry too much about it.
But, I started thinking about it today and got worried, so I was looking for sound clips of guinea pig coughs and I haven't yet found one that sounds like the noise he is making. The best I can explain it is like a clicking noise (definitely not teeth chattering). It is almost like if you were to click your tongue on the roof of your mouth, if you know what I mean? Like a popping? Is this a cough or what?
