Just wondering how many sneezes is too much? Over the last few days I’ve noticed my piggy sneezing a lot maybe once every 15 mins. I have changed the hay to a cheaper meadow and Timothy combined (but they did have this when I first got them) and also changed washing powder this week for their bedding. Just a little bit concerned but she’s eating and running around the same.

Any advice would be great 👍🏻
 
Sneezing is generally them clearing their airways so it might be the dust from cheaper hay, irritation from the change of detergent. However, it’s always best to have a vet check things like this out before assuming environmental
 
Hi, for sneezing every piggy is different, you should be able to work out what is normal for your piggy eventually...it could be environmental factors if it doubt you can always switch back to the old detergent to see if it helps...it may just be that the smell of it is a bit strong for them...it could also be dust from the hay...personally I shake mine out in a bag first before giving it to them to try get as much of the dusty bits our as possible...it could also be dust around them so ensuring their surrounding are clean is always good...but if you are concerned then a just incase check up is always good...even if it turns out to be environmental or it eventually passes on its own you get a clean bill of health for them...which is always good
 
We've had one or two at the rescue sneezing lately (not in contact with each other).
We added some hay racks for them as they make so much mess with the trays.
Turns out they had hay stuck up their noses 🤦‍♀️
