Hi,

My piggy has a cold,
Sneezing, click noises in breathing, half closed eye and she's had those for a week today.

Will she get over it on her own?
Will she survive the month?

It just seems like a cold to me and she's running and eating.
But with prey animals you can never be too careful!

The clicking when she breathes is a giveaway. It's serious, she will NOT get over it on her own. She needs an exotic vet and she needs one ASAP.

She has an upper respiratory infection which can quickly progress to pneumonia.

Ditto @Guinea Pig Papa. You need to get her to an exotic vet ASAP.
