Mine sneezes sometimes.. Just seeing if that is normal or should i worry or what could cause it?
 
An occasional sneeze is normal, nothing to worry about. It usually happens when they've been burrowing in hay or when fresh bedding has been put in. If sneezing is accompanied with lethargy, laboured breathing, coughing, crusty and sunken eyes and nasal dishcarge (runny nose!) then it's one sign that something more is wrong.

Also make sure no fragrances/air fresheners/aerosols etc. are used in the same room as piggies.
 
so no candles? I have lit some candles, I always light candles..... Guess not good idea
 
HIs eyes and nose look great....
 
If they are strongly scented then best to avoid candles. If they've got a faint or no scent then they may be ok. :)
 
Dindy does the odd 'tish' every other day or so with no other signs of a cold etc.
As others have mentioned, probabley just something ticckling her nose.
 
i need some advice...

hi to everyone,

can anyone give me some advices? i just bathed her and she's actually sneezes a few time already :( what should i do? is that normal?

please help me... otherwise i cant sleep :0
 
I'm no expert but I would say make sure she is kept nice and warm until she is totally dry .... if she is totally dry already could there be something in the shampoo thats tickled her nose or in the towels ? eg a scent ?

Hi ade ade, I advise you to start a new thread because more people will reply specifically to you. When did you bathe her? You have to make sure she's completely dry.
 
thanks candy floss :)

actually this is the second time we bathed her but she always trembles when we are drying her. we used hair dryer to dry her but she doesn't seem to like it :{ it's very hard to totally warm her up before we put her back home.

My boys do this too even though we turn the A/C off and take them to a warmer place in the apartment. I'm scared to blow-dry them though @) wrap her up like a burrito lol ^)
