I noticed Cookie's eyes and nose were crusty, and she can't make any noise. It sounds like gasping when she tries. She's eating and drinking fine, but I'm very worried. Possible respiratory infection? Please help.

Yes, very probably a respiratory infection, and she needs to see a vet ASAP. Like this morning. Guinea pigs can die within 24 hours of getting a severe respiratory infection, and there's nothing you can do at home to treat one. So please see an exotic vet today.
