I woke up this morning to hear Terra coughing and sneezing a few times. He is eating running around his cage popcorning and drinking ok. His poops are normal and there's plenty of them. He has no discharge from his eyes or nose. Could it be a vitamin C deficiency? I don't understand how he gets plenty of vitamin C veggies and his pellets contain vitamin c. If he gets any discharge I will take him to the vet immediatley.

I wouldnt worry about lack of vit c. Most pigs get all they need from their veggies and pellets.
Sometimes pigs just sneeze/cough. Keep an eye on him. Bit it could be nothing.

I gave Terra some extra Vitamin C the past few days and the coughing and sneezing have stopped. Maybe he needed more vitamin C. He did take a trip to the vet to get his nails done and it did stress him out a bit. Do they need more vitamin C if they are stressed?

Added vit c wont do any harm as any extra is passed out in their urine. It could have been the vet visit that unsettled him. Some pigs dont enjoy it.
Glad hes feeling better
