A few days ago I took my sick piggy to the vet and she got a couple injections everyday for 3 days. She's a lot better now, no more discharge around her eyes and her nose doesn't seem to be wet anymore, however I do still hear her sneezing. I just changed the bedding to fleece from sawdust because the vet said she could also be allergic to sawdust, could she also be allergic to fleece or still be sick or something?

Hi!

It generally takes a bit longer than 3 days to cure a URI (respiratory infection) in my experience.
Guinea Lynx :: URI

Sneezing can be caused by sawdust/pine bedding as well as hay dust. There are other triggers (air fresheners, scent sticks, perfumed human skin and hygiene products etc), but these are the most common.
Look for dust extracted hay and be aware that the quality can cary quite considerable, so it may take some trial and error. Fleece should not cause an allergy, depending on what washing powder you are using.

Yes both my pigs have gone to the vet MANY times becuase they were sneezing but no other signs of anything except for wheezing. They have gone 4 or 5 months sneezing plus a bit of wheezing and I’m still not sure what it is.
