hi
I feel like a serial poster today!

I have had Both sows since Saturday they are 10 weeks. One came to me at the end of antibiotics as has cough and runny nose etc. The thing is she still has it and her nose looks quite wet when she is breathing. She is always making funny little noises and sneezing espcailly when I put her back in the cage.

Today I heard the other one do a sneeze so am paranoid about that she will get it too.

I have also seen them both itch a few time Again is this normal? One had mites prior to coming which was treated in fact both were treated. But what should i look for.
Thanks
Paranoid new owner!

You are not being paranoid, piggies are susceptible to health problems with the stress of rehoming. I suggest that you get them both checked out by a vet tomorrow, both for their colds and for possible mites. Its normal for pigs to scratch occasionally but not repeatedly. Good luck
