What should you do if your guinea pigs have a cough?

Before you take your guinea pig to the veterinarian, make sure they are specialized in small animals--otherwise, you run the chance of having a misdiagnosis of your guinea pig, which (in some situations)--can potentially be lethal!! I've provided you with a website where you can find a small pets veterinarian in any location--check it out to find one in your state.http://www.aracnet.com/cgi-usr/seagull/vetfinder.cgiAlso: you may want to switch from using wood shavings to using paper bedding. My two guinea pigs love their paper bedding, and guinea pigs are ALLERGIC to cedar: this could be why your guinea pig is wheezing! I recommend the white paper bedding, because it's easier to spot dirty areas of the cage, and it repels odors very efficiently--my guinea's cage never has a strong smell! I hope all of this is helpful--and I don't know where the previous person got their info--but it's absolutely not what an informed person would tell you in a pet store.Answertake it to a veterinarian AnswerThere are three things that can be done.
