sick piggy

[sqeeker]

hi all my little boy jazz keeps making these funny noises sounds like a chocking noise what might this be could he have a little cold and mabe has a cough?
advice please

If he were mine, I would make an appointment with the vet as he may need antibiotics for chest infection. Does he live in or outdoors?

he is indoors in the computor room.
he always seems to do it wen he eats so i though mabe he was just being a pig but this weekend he has been doing it alot more even when he not eating?
do you think it could be a cough?

I would take him to the vets and get him checked out

I have heard people say their piggies make this noise when they're eating but I'd be concerned as he's now doing it when he's not eating.
I'd definitely get it checked out just to be sure O0

Some times my piggies make that noise if they eat celery I think its cause they try and munch it waaaay to quicky : : :

I would make a appointment for the vet if it continues, it could be a number of things and if its a cold piggies can go down hill so fast its not worth hanging about

Sopunds like Heaving Hiccups, mine do it when they eat too fast, but only certain pigs seem to do it : The whole body kind of 'moves' when they do it (not a good description). It sounds like a cough- not a hiccup. If you are worried though go to your vet and get the chest lisdtened to , maybe you are hearing clicking sounds that could be an infection?
