My little pig honey has been sneezing and coughing. I only just saw it when I went to give them their veggies. She sneezed twice and also coughed when I rubbed her back and then purred. Is this something I should be worried about? I only just noticed it but I gave them parsley so it could have been the strong smell of that?
 
I would only worry if it is more than a one off and if it continues regularly tomorrow - and that means more than just five sneezes in a day or the odd cough! Most piggies sneeze a few times during the day; often when they clean themselves. It can be just a bit of hay or other dust and pollen. At the moment, keeping an eye on Honey is the sensible thing to do.
