Question
my daughters pig is unwell. she wont eat or drink and is making wee squeaking noises constantly. she has lost weight and is shaking. her nose seems to be blocked also.
can you help princess? she is just under a year old

Answer
Sounds like she may have a respiratory infection.  Make sure the bedding is clean and it is aspen or carefresh (paper).  She needs vet care ASAP to get medicine (most likely an antibiotic) as she won't get well without some sort of treatment.  You may need to syringe feed her liquids so she doesn't become dehydrated.

Good luck and let me know if I can be of any more help,
