Pippin occassionally makes a noise that I can only describe as being between a sneeze and a hiccup, but tonight she seemed to be doing it quite a lot. It sounds like this: (not my video)

I haven't changed anything recently, and she doesn't sound wheezy or anything else, she was zooming around earlier and is eating dinner at the minute. Any advice?
 
Does he make the noise only when eating? Is so it means he eats too fast. All mine do that. He is just the cutest piggy ever!
 
Yes, one of ours used to do exactly that when he ate. He always did it, he just seemed to munch away pretty quickly.

Does yours only do it when she eats?
 
Just keep an eye on it moving her to a vet could make her unnecessarily uncomfortable has anyone you know had a cold lately (who has been in contact of her )
I keep a pig diary and right who has seen your pig etc.
Tell me if any other symptoms occur !
 
If its only when shes eating I would say its because she is eating too fast. If she however she is doing it at other times keep a close eye on her could be start of a uri.
 
Thanks guys it tends to be when she eats pellets in an evening. Is there anyway to help slow her down?
