dieing piggie PLEASE HELP

Question
I'm pretty sure my piggie is dieing! Yesterday I noticed she hadn't ate her food from the night before, I got her out of her bed and she laid pretty limp, she had died stuff on her nose so I cleaned it, and mucusy eyes which I cleaned also.
So walked around some out of her cage, but soon went and laid down. Again today she hasn't ate, I tried to feed her but she won't open her mouth. I have been giving her water with a dropper but it runs back out. She isn't moving just laying, opening her eyes sometimes and closing them again. Every once in awhile she lifts her head a tad but it seems to be an effort cause She huffs and puts it back down. Most of the day she was making crumpling gurgling noises when she breathes, but that has stopped. She is pretty limp like. Uusally when you go to pick her up or touch her she runs and squirms, now she doesn't care- She even let me roll her on her side to check her nails. I'm very worried. I called the closet vet hospital which is an hour away(and it's snowing)they said they don't have an exotic vet there right now, and that it sounds like she is dieing! They said I could bring her but advised it would be $160.00 (which I don't have )from the door before test etc... and reminded me that she wouldn't be seen by an exotic vet.
Do you have any advice!!
PLEASE!!

Answer
Hi Angie

Sorry to hear about your pig.

It does sound like something is very wrong, but unfortunately the symptoms your describe could point to a number of different illnesses. It is really difficult for me to give advice without being able to see your pet.

I am so sorry I can't offer much advice. If you notice any other symptoms, please let me know and I will try to help.
