ever since i bought my guinea pigs, one of them, ceviche, had sneezed very often. i kinda just shrugged it off, but four months later, ceviche is still sneezing just as much. i searched up online what this could be, and i have seen people say it is a symptom of a common cold or URI. however, he isn't showing any other symptoms for either illness. i would take to him to a vet, but there are no vets that specialize in treating guinea pigs. should i be concerned or no?

If he hasn't gotten sick in four months, it's not likely a URI. It could be that your hay is dusty. If you're buying it in small bags from a pet store, it's almost guaranteed to be dry and dusty.

See if you can get some greener, fresher hay and see if that helps. If so, you can order hay online that will be much better, and much cheaper, than what you can buy in a pet store.
