Hi. What is your guinea pig sleeping on. If it's hay, he could have an allergy (a bit like humans have hayfever), because sometimes hay can be a bit musty which causes the problem. It would be better for him if you could get dust-free wood shavings (obtainable from most good pet shops). You could try this to see if his breathing improves, but don't leave it too long, if there's no improvement, get the vet to have a look at him. Hope all goes well. Schutz.
