How to Treat Guinea Pig Colds, Bronchitis, and Pneumonia
Guinea pig colds, bronchitis, and pneumonia need different care. Colds take enrofloxacin or sulfadimidine; bronchitis needs higher-dose antibiotics plus an expectorant (carbetapentane or ammonium chloride); pneumonia is urgent — enrofloxacin plus Shuanghuanglian IV, aminophylline for breathing trouble, all at a vet. Isolate sick pigs and treat fast, as pneumonia can kill in 2–3 days.
How to Tell Guinea Pig Colds, Bronchitis, and Pneumonia Apart
Guinea pig colds, bronchitis, and pneumonia overlap but differ: colds bring fever and watery discharge; bronchitis adds wet coughs, breathing difficulty, and purulent discharge; pneumonia shows severe labored breathing, wet lung rales, X-ray shadows, and high white cells. See a vet for confirmation.
Symptoms and Treatment of Pneumonia in Guinea Pigs

Distemper, Respiratory Infection, Pneumonia, Eating and Walking Fine, Hind Leg Twitching at Night, Pus Eye Discharge
Distemper is severe; respiratory/pneumonia types need nebulization and anti-inflammatories plus distemper monoclonal antibody, interferon and serum for 5-7 days. Hind-leg twitching suggests nerve damage that may be lifelong but manageable.
My dog has coughed with phlegm, sneezed, had a fever, and yellow dried nasal discharge for two weeks—X-ray shows pneumonia. What now?
With pneumonia, oral meds are poorly absorbed—better to go to the hospital for IV, injections, and nebulization. Puppies need infectious disease screening (distemper can cause pneumonia, needing interferon/monoclonal antibodies). Bacterial pneumonia: do a sensitivity test, then use amoxicillin, cefotaxime, doxycycline by weight. Poor appetite: glucose-saline IV. Lots of phlegm: aminophylline to open airways.
What medicine treats leopard tortoise pneumonia?
Leopard tortoise pneumonia usually needs antibiotics. Isolate it, raise temperature above 30°C, keep ventilated; soak daily in water with gentamicin.
