I rescued a pig about two weeks ago and she would sneeze up to around twice a day, I read not to he concerned unless it's more than twice so I waited it out and it stopped but I was listening to her breath and it was quite raspy, she squints a lot more than my other pigs too. She does still sneeze more than usual but not like before.
I was thinking she might have an allergy? Anyone got any better ideas?

Hi!

If you are worried, please have her vet checked as we recommend with any new piggy.
Have her eyes checked; has she got clear discharge instead of milky cleaning fluid (irritation in the eye) or has she yellow or green gunk in her eyes (URI)?

What kind of hay are you using?

Will do :) everything about her eyes are normal besides squinting. I've used two types of hay with her, one Timothy one meadow, but she didn't seem to react to either
