Mia is gasping?

[Zeander]

Hey everyone. I've had Mia for about 3 and a half weeks now. Within a week of her being home, one day I heard her making a gasping sound while she wheeked. I haven't heard it again until yesterday and again when I got home today. I watched her carefully today while she did it. She opens her mouth a little and I see her tummy puff out like she's taking in a deep breath. It kinda sounds like she's gasping for air but she doesn't look to be in any discomfort. Anyone know what this might be? Thanks for your time.

I havn't heard of it before the way you are describing it. Is it like a wheeze?

Is she wheeking for veggies? Does it sound kinda like an airy sound, kinda like a raspy throat sound? Apollo sounded like that when I first got him, he couldn't wheek loudly for veggies like the other pigs could. I'm not sure what it was but it went away.

Bracken does that occasionally too. It's like a wheek without the noise.

It sounds like what Dagwellsmypiggy is talking about. I'm glad that it's nothing serious.

My girl Tigger, wheeks like that also. I call it a "kazoo" sound. It's like a really airy wheek/whistle.
