Re: Ongoing breathing problem

Very interesting.

Our pigs get a weezing type of breathing every so often.  It more or
less sounds like they have shuttered breathing.  I really can't
explain it. It would make you think something seriously is wrong, but
they seem normal and aren't sluggish at all.

If they can squeak for food during this type of breathing we assume
they have to hack something up somehow.  This happens about once every
two weeks.  When we hear it we will make sure they really aren't
sickly, then chase them around the cage for a minute or two acting
like we are picking them up.  After about 5 minutes of leaving them
alone they will hack or cough and the noise will stop.

Has anyone else experienced this?
