QuestionMy 7 week old mini potbellied pig Emilee has been sneezing and occasionally breathing weird it kinda sounds like she is having a hard time breathing this may be a dumb question but i have been sick for a few weeks and i was wondering if she could catch a cold from me?
AnswerYes, pigs can catch colds and pneumonia. It's normal for pigs to sneeze after rooting in dirt and such, but difficulty breathing is a danger sign. Pneumonia is common in bottle fed babies, they inhale liquid into their lungs from the bottle. Your piggy needs to see a vet to determine why she can not breathe right. There's a list of vets here www.farec.org
