Health & WellbeingHello, I've just looked up a few symptoms of URI because my guinea pig has been sneezing and having eyes and nose discharge. I cannot bring him to the vet at the moment but is there anything I can do at home to prevent it from getting worse if he doe
Unfortunately if Carby has a URI, and it does sound like it from your description, then he will need antibiotic treatment in order to get better. it's important for him to be stress free and eat a good quality food as it can improve his immune reaction to the infection, but this does not replace antibiotics, which you can only get from the vet.
