My oldest boy has done this only a few times throughout the whole 2 1/2 years I've had him, but I realize now that what he did is called "hooting" and it's indicative of heart disease. He's been to the vet once a year for check ups and she said that his heart was fine, but should an x-ray or something else be done to diagnose whether or not he has a heart condition? I'm very concerned now since i heard the exact sound on a youtube video and the owner said the pig was diagnosed with a heart defect.
Do they have to hoot all the time or is this something that they will do once in a blue moon? He usually always does it in the middle of the night and it wakes me from my sleep. He'd do it for a while and then would stop for months and months.
