One of my piggies has been sneezing but it's only when he is around his hay. Is he sick or is it just the dust from the hay? I also separated him from his cage mate just in case.

Put him back together with his cage mate. Even if he's sick, they've both already been exposed, and the stress of separation won't be good for him.

Sneezing alone doesn't usually indicate a problem. It's when they're sneezing with runny noses and/or eyes, and acting as if they don't feel well, and possibly aren't eating that you need to be concerned.
