I just recently got a guinea pig for my fiancee for valentines day, though we both adore him equally. However he is sneezing a lot and has a lot of hard little eye boogers coming from the corners of his eyes. It's scaring me that he may have the infamous respiratory infection. I don't have a lot of money so I can't really afford to take him to the vet till I get paid.

He is very active during the day, loves to eat timothy hay, oranges, and the pellet mix I got at pet smart when I bought him. I'm just concerned that he may have something wrong with him. He's still a baby pretty much, I'd say 2-3 months old.

Any suggestions as to how I can verify if he is sick or not? I'm already attached to the lil booger and it's only been 3 days.

Thanks guys.
