Why is my guinea pig squeaking a lot after a recent urine infection?

It's possible Sally could be a bit constipated, ill, or have irritation/infection that is causing some swelling or discomfort. If she can't go potty at all, there is swelling/oozing of debris, or she seems in distress, it is a good idea to bring her to your vet for an exam. Otherwise, keeping everything clean and dry and making sure she is eating and drinking may help her stay comfortable.

It sounds as though poor Coco has a urinary tract infection. This is typically caused by bacteria overgrowth and Coco will require antibiotic treatment. I would suggest contacting your local veterinarian that is skilled in treating guinea pigs to set up an appointment.

Congrats on all three guinea pigs! Squeaking can be a sign of many things. Here is an article to read regarding happy squeaking: https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-know-your-guinea-pig-is-happy/ Here is also a great article about caring for guinea pigs: https://www.petcoach.co/article/the-best-way-to-care-for-and-feed-your-guinea-pig/ If the males get along, you may consider housing them together (do not put males and females together unless you intend to breed and then make sure to do your homework first). Guinea pigs do prefer company (as long as they get along) and if they don't have other guinea pigs to hang out with, the humans must make time every day for interaction. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Thanks for reaching out about Peanut Butter. Sometimes vocalizing while handled is a sign of discomfort. So is being secretive. A veterinary visit is recommended as soon as possible. Try to offer water and food via syringe until the visit. An emergency visit over the weekend might be a good idea. Good luck.

I wouldn't say normal. There could be a few conditions happening. I would make sure his teeth are even and there isn't an uneven surface causing discomfort. Oral and respiratory infections can happen which could cause a sore throat which could change the voice. If there are Cedar or Pine shavings for a bedding this can sometimes cause allergies with Guinea Pigs. Also a diet lacking in Vitamin C could be the cause. Always make sure you have the correct husbandry or it's easy for problems to occur. I would recommend keeping a close eye on him and if he is acting abnormal (not eating, drinking, abnormal feces or urinating) then he should visit a local veterinarian. Guinea pigs are very fragile and can look normal one instant then sick in another. Here is a link for proper husbandry of guinea pigs. Https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/small-pet-care/guinea-pig-care

This sign might be compatible with a chronic respiratory tract inflammation/infection, even though is quite vague at this stage. My suggestion would be to just monitor him in case you notice any other sign (lethargy, inappetence, coughing, sneezing, any evident discharge from nose and so on). Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

It’s possible that Caramell may be dealing with a bladder infection or kidney issues. I recommend to take her to see her veterinarian and start with a urinalysis to check for infection. Always better to be safe. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
