    Question I don't know what's wrong :(

    So, my piggy has a sore under his eye, and it started off as nothing really, but it has gotten to where it's completely bald of hair and a few days ago it was bleeding. It's seemed to have cleared up, but I'm still worried about it. Right now it's all scabbed over. And plus, he's coughed/sneezed a few times over the past few days, and it has me exteremly worried..

    Does he live with another piggie? My old two pigs didn't get along so the dominant one would occasionally hurt the other. And my pigs sneeze a lot, but if yours don't usually I would recommend the vet!

    Nope, it's just my boy. And we just got him about a month ago, and I've seen that if they're wheezing or sneezing it could be deadly? He's my first piggy ever so I don't want anything to happen to him :(

    Sound like you have a very sick pig that has a combination of a URI and a fungal infection. He needs to see an exotics vet ASAP to really find out though.

    I really wish we had the funds to take him, but my husband and I both lost our jobs after we got him.. I'm going to call a vet and see if they could possibly work out a payment plan with us. But also, he's eating, drinking and playing like normal. And his stool and pee is normal, if that makes a difference, he just has the spot and the coughing/sneezing like twice in two days..
