Does anyone know why a Guenna Pig would hold its head sideways and sometimes whine? ?

He seams healthy otherwise and he just started this tonight and I know I need to take him to the vet, but was wondering if anyone had any idea what the problem may be?
 
What kind of bedding do you use if there are very small particles in the bedding one may have gotten lodged in his ear and may be causing discomfort.. and if it stays in there it can cause an infection and kill him being that it is so close to his brain... if he continues doing this take him to a vet... and change his litter asap!!!

when this happens it screws with his equilibrium thats why he would be turning his head to the side.
 
It sounds like your guinea pig has an ear infection. Any sort of head tilting can be an indicator that something is wrong with the inner ear. The vet will probably give you some Baytril in a yummy flavor for your piggie and he'll be as good as new in no time- good luck. :)
