Need help - I think my Guinea pig inhaled something irritating
I was cleaning my guineas pigs pen and changing the fleece and whenever I do this I let her run around free. She normally loves to run all around and nothing has ever happened and I just wait for her to show up again. I didn’t even know she was in the same room as me but I heard a gurgling sound and I look at where the sound came from and she’s there and there’s a huge snot bubble coming out her nose and it’s dripping a ton. I’ve been holding her in my arms for the past hour and trying to wipe her nose off and she just has snot all over her face and around her mouth. I think she has some in her mouth too and I was trying to get it out by having her chew on a stick but she didn’t want to. I got some out with my fingers. I tried giving her some water in a syringe to flush some snot out but she wouldn’t drink it. My arm where her head was lying is covered in snot. She’s so tired of being messed with and I just want to help her. I don’t know what to do since it’s the middle of the night and there are no vets nearby that see Guinea pigs. In the morning I’m taking to another town to an exotics vet but does anyone know what I can do for her until then ?
She was acting completely fine and perfectly normal until I heard that noise. Whenever she runs around she likes to go under furniture so I wonder if she just found a very dusty place. My baby is 6 years old and I’m very worried, she’s never had a runny nose before so I don’t know how to help her feel better.
