Hello!

One of my piggies, Harvey, has started sneezing recently, often enough for it to become a possible concern. However, i dont see any crust/build up of snot around his nose, and his eyes are clean and clear. Ive already listened to his breathing as well and heard nothing out of the ordinary. He also seems to be eating and pooping like usual

Heres a few things about his environment that may help:
  • His floor is fleece and the bedding in his litter box is paper based
  • He had recently made the move with me to my apartment, about a week ago, and around then is when i started noticing the sneezing

Any thoughts on what it may be? Im concerned, but beside the sneezing nothing else seems to be amiss.

Could be allergies to something. Mine has done a few in a row and was fine. But if it's just going on and on I'd take him to an exotic vet.... not a regular vet.

When I first adopted one of my piggies, Robin Hood, he sneezed for nearly a week after I brought him home. Like you, he had no other symptoms of being sick whatsoever--- he was active, eating, breathing clear, with no runny nose, etc. After a week he was sneezing less and less and before two weeks stopped completely. I think, with him, it was just some sort of "stress sneezing"! Once he settled in and relaxed the sneezing stopped.
Maybe since you recently moved, and your piggy started sneezing then, it could be a stress with him as well!
