Tried having a quick look but couldn't find anything - I have 2 girl pigs, about 4 months old now. This morning I heard a very peculiar noise from one of them (I'd say she's the more dominant one, she certainly stands her ground more than the other one, who will run away and hide most of the time, then cheekily peak out at you :) ).

Anyway, the only way I can describe this noise is a failed impression of donald the duck?! Never heard either of them making this noise before. I've checked them both over like I usually do, noses, eyes, ears & bottoms are all clean and looking normal. Their breathing sounds fine (ie no funny noises). So I guess she's fine, it'sjust a new noise? (or at least a noise I've never heard her make before!). She seemed to do it more when she was burying her way into their cosy sac, squashing her friend in the process in her quest to get to the very back of the sac. So is it a dominance thing? The other pig was making a loud squeeking noise and keeping still while her friend squashed over her to the back. Then I haven't heard this funny "duck" type noise all morning.

Any ideas what this noise means would be great :)
 
ah, thanks for that - I take it the odd sneeze is nothing to worry about? Like i say, her breathing sounds fine, and her nose etc are clean.
