:'(Mocha is my new piggie and ever since i got him he has not made a normal noise yet......just these weird dry sounding grunts. His breathing is also kind of raspy. He coughs occasionally, but usually after he eats or drinks. He is thinner than my other two piggies and i am very scared for the well being of all of my guineas... PLEASE HELP!!!

Can you take him to the vet anytime soon?
I think it is also recommend to "quarantine" any new pigs so they don't spread any illness they may have. Sometimes a guinea can be sick when you get it, and they are really good at hiding symptoms.
I hope your pig will get better soon!
Is it possible for a guinea pig to sound raspy just due to throat irritation?

It sounds like he has a uri which will need vet treatment. Keep the pig away from your other two and keep him warm and dry. Ensure he has plenty of fresh food, hay and water.
Let us know how he gets on
