However, here are some common noises guinea pigs make when they are in distress or pain:
* Squealing: This is often a high-pitched, sharp sound, similar to a scream. It's a sign of intense pain or fear.
* Whimpering: A lower, softer sound than squealing, more like a whine. This can indicate discomfort or mild pain.
* Teeth chattering: This is a rapid clicking sound with the teeth that can be a sign of fear, anxiety, or pain.
* Growling: This is a deeper, guttural sound that is usually a sign of aggression or fear.
If you suspect your guinea pig is hurt, it's important to observe its behavior carefully. Look for signs of:
* Limping or favoring a leg
* Not eating or drinking
* Lethargy or lack of energy
* Changes in breathing
* Unusual discharge from the eyes, nose, or mouth
If you see any of these signs, it's important to take your guinea pig to a veterinarian as soon as possible. They can diagnose the problem and provide appropriate treatment.
