Sorry, but yes this does mean you bought a sick piggy
from a pet shop. You need to get him/her to the vet
ASAP. Sneezing and eye/nose discharge are serious
signs of a respiratory infection, and should be
treated with antibiotics as soon as possible. Often by
the time pigs show obvious signs of illness, the
illness has gotten to a very serious point.
Please keep us posted!

*********************************************
I bought my first piggy last week. I was going to
take her to the vet. Only one eye has yellow crusties
and her nose is getting them. I use a wet cloth to
clean her up. I am hoping this does not mean I bought
a sick guinea pig from the pet shop.
Thanks for any help or advice. I can't believe I
found this website online how great.
