My guinea pig is sleeping a lot and sneezing. Is she ill or depressed?

Question

I have two guinea pigs Cookie Dough and Lonnie and recently Lonnie got ill so we had to take her to the vet and keep her isolated while she got better. Meanwhile, Cookie Dough has been laying around a lot but she is still eating and drinking. She sleeps a lot and only moves when she hears food coming. Could she be depressed? And should i take her to a vet? We also got a knew type of bedding could that aslo be the problem? She has also been sneezing a couple times a day.

If your other guinea pig recently had an issue that required veterinary attention and now this one is showing clinical signs, it is reasonable to assume that one may have passed something onto the other. It would be wise to have your other piggy checked out and likely treated with similar medications.
