Peruvian Cavies or Guinea Pigs can communicate with each other in multiple ways. There are cavies that communicate through hissing, purring, squealing, or even whistling. Your veterinarian may be able to assist you in trying to determine if these sounds mean that your pet needs a checkup or perhaps something else. Normally, a squealing or whistling sound means your pet cavy is looking for attention. If you have ever seen your pet Peruvian Cavy greet you with whistles as you get home from being away all day, it means that your pet likely misses you and it’s happy that you are home. When a Peruvian Cavy purrs, it is usually when being handled because it is their method of showing contentment and happiness. This is opposite to hissing, which is vocalized when the animal is in distress, is scared, or just unhappy. If you are having second thoughts on how to interpret the vocalizations of your cavy, call your veterinarian. It is better to double-check and ensure that all is well with your pet. You can learn a lot about your pet from your vet Dahlonega, GA.
