The most obvious signs are changes in appetite and activity. They may lose weight (you need to weigh your pig regularly - every day if you suspect it's ill), they may have crusties around the eyes, sneeze, cough, squeal while peeing - it depends on the illness. Any change is an indication something is wrong.
If you're not sure whether your pig is sick or healthy take it to an exotics vet to find out for certain.

∙ 13y agoGuinea pigs don't get stomach flu like humans do. However, if you are sick, it is best to do everything possible to keep your pig from getting sick too, just in case your illness is bacterial. Bacterial illness can spread to piggies. Also, if your guinea pig is having digestive problems of any kind, get him/her to a vet that knows how to treat exotics (AKA not just dogs/cats) as QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
