Hi all,
Hoping you can advise - one of my piggies has started to make a strange sound. It’s like a sneeze mixed with a loud squeak/ popping sound, and she seems to do it around 10 times a day, sometimes when eating. I’ve noticed it over the past week or so.
She’s around 4 months old and seems to be in perfect health - eating and drinking normally, very inquisitive, popcorning etc. I took both of my piggies to the vet two weeks ago for their first check up and all was fine.
Could it be that this is just the way she sneezes?
Thanks,
Ana
 
Piggies have narrow airways and eating can make them sneeze, but if she is doing a lot and not just when eating then I’d pop along to the vet for a check. They’d rather see you worried and it be fine, than leave it too late and it become a serious issue. It’s never worth leaving these kinds of issues unchecked if you are concerned.

Thank you, I’ll see how she gets on today and give them a call if it continues 😊
