I’m not sure if I am over reacting but here’s the story :)
So as some of you may know, I moved bella indoors yesterday night, and she will be in until it gets warmer :)
She is very happy, eating , drinking and is active . However today, she was just walking around and she did something that I thought was a sneeze but kind of sounded like a elephant noise (but a lot quieter!) I didn’t worry too much but then about 1 minute later she did it again...should I be worried?
 
Rosie had a big sneeze and it really surprised me. I kept an eye on her for excessive sneezing and she has been fine ever since

Hi! Please take a deep breath! Bella is likely to have some hay dust up her nose that is tickling it and will settle once it has all been sneezed out.

You need to worry about sneezing only if the there is persistent sneezing lots of times in an hour over several hours/days or if there is a nose bleed (a heavy one counts as an emergency) and would recommend to see a vet during regular opening hours.

The occasional sneezing fit or sneezing to clear the nose when a piggy is giving itself a piggy wash several times a day is nothing to feel anxious about. ;)
