I was holding Spoonie, and he did a small sneeze (or was it a snort? I can't tell). When he hopped up onto my shoulder to let me know to take him back to his cage, he coughed. When I put him back into his cage, he started squeaking when he heard me rattling a bag, then coughed about 4 or 5 times in the course of 45 seconds. It scared me!!
One of his eyes is sliiiightly watery (although I could just be paranoid, but he did have a little eye "boogey"/crust at the corner that I had to clean off twice today), but besides that, he's fine! Acting fine, eating a LOT, pooping fine! He coughed yesterday while eating a carrot, but it was because he took too big of a bite. He's an eager eater, heehee!
Should I be worried? Is there anything else that causes coughing in pigs besides a URI? He wasn't eating anything at the time, although he was getting excited for food. I'm a paranoid mommy; on one hand, I feel like it was just a little coughing fit, but on the other hand, I'm worried.
Thanks everyone~!
