I had a boy (skinny pig) with this same issue and after having some x-rays done the vet determined it was pneumonia. It was a span of about 6-8 months where he lost his ability to wheek, and the sound he made is the same as what you described. I didnt think too much of it because he was still...

Coconut oil will do the trick for sure. I only use as necessary or after a bath.. just rub it on and wipe off any excess.

I have 2 skinnies that love nothing more than stretching out in a cosie or fleece pile. I suspect you'll find it incredibly cute (like I do) when you discover just the tip of the nose or a single foot sticking out. I also make sure their room never gets below 21C. Another tip: get some...
