I need help...I don't know what to do!!

I got little Alisa this past Saturday.  She started to sneeze a bit but not 
enough to really make me take notice.  Sunday I took notice.  She stopped for a 
few hours Sunday night but then started again.  So, Monday I made an 
appointment for the vet and Tuesday I took her to the vet's office.  The vet said 
she's healthy, that everything looks good.  She has no idea why Alisa is sneezing. 
 This is a very good piggy doctor. I've taken Miss Piggy to her (my other 
piggy) and she's wonderful...the lady who I got Alisa from does rescue work and 
drives out of her way to go to this vet.

I've examined Alisa myself and can see nothing wrong.  She eats like a pig 
(haha), drinks just fine, has tons of energy, is the cutest little chatterbox in 
the world, eyes, nose and mouth are clear....I don't get it and am very upset.

Anyway, I thought maybe it's the bedding...so I changed it.  I was using 
Carefresh Ultra and tried tonight Kaytee Soft-Sorbent (claims to be made from wood 
fibers and have no oils or ink).  

Now Alisa is sneezing a little more!!!!!! :(

My question is does anyone have a piggy, or know of any piggy, that was 
allergic to this type of bedding?  Is it possible that it's just an allergy?

If I have to put them on aspen, then I have to.  It looks so uncomfortable 
and I heard it's not very absorbant or good with ammonia, but if it's an allergy 
to these wood pulp beddings then I'll do it.

Any thoughts? :(

Wheeks to all!

Maggie, Alisa, Jessica & Miss Piggy
