My small female mini pig will cough a few times after eating. It's extremely loud. The vet didn't see anything wrong. Anybody have experience in this?
It's only after eating and it sounds painful. Not pneumonia, it's been going on for a month or so. We just rescued herI mean, I always cough after eating a good meal. It's my compliments to the chef, lol. Does her cough sound painful or pneumonia-like?
+1. Hogs just seem to do all-around better on slurry type feed. Their stools aren't so tough and borderline impacted either. Its why our grandfathers called it "slopping pigs", a euphemism for feeding pigs. Many of them don't take time to chew much either. They inhale that food greedily, swallowing as much as they can before another pig can steal it. Hence the term "hogging". If your feed is dry, lumpy, doesn't readily masticate into an easily-swallowed bolus quick enough to bolt and instead outlasts her chewing patience, there could be your cough right there.is it dry stuff? if yes, try whashing or adding water to the food
