All the best for your vet trip. Any diuretic (fluid draining meds) and other heart meds should not interfere with an antibiotic. It is in your vet's assessment just whether they are necessary at this stage or not - i.e. how advanced the congestive heart failure is. Other members have more...

Sorry to hear that. 😞 Yes rats are a nightmare with URIs and it was always so upsetting seeing them climbing the cage, gasping for air! 😢

She's on a diuretic. I'm also giving antibiotics (vet said I could but she doesn't think it's an infection but I decided it wasn't worth the risk that it was). We have an appointment to go in this week so will see. Looks heart related but she had cancer removed a month ago so I'm suspicious it...

Just a Custard update also (lymphoma piggie) she’s still stable and happy and active. We’re about 4 months after diagnosis going on the 5th month in November. We did have to increase her furosemide to 0.2ml 3x a day recently as she started sounding like she had more fluid build up (noticed the...

Glad that Custard is still going and able to enjoy her life.

Hi all, having the worst luck with my herd and after a fungal infection, two now have respiratory issues. One had pneumonia back in late January, confirmed fluid in lungs with X-rays and then another X-ray when she was better didn’t show an enlarged heart but the vets were suspicious of heart...

Oh wow how horrible for you. We've had experiences with vets like this before when we were actually there to have a pig Spooky put to sleep. She was awful (and rubbish, it's a long story) and we made a complaint. I understand how hard being a vet can be and what would we do without them but show...

Well here it goes. As most of you will be aware, me and my boyfriend travelled up to Rutland House to see the incredible Dr Varga and Craig to say goodnight to our wonderful girls Bea (5.5), Mouse (5.5) and Meep (2.5) this afternoon. My parents, best friend and brother also came over to say...

Hey, I'm just in need of a bit of advice/support regarding my 7 year 4 month old sow Delilah. Of course due to her age, she has a few health issues going on but she was doing fantastic on her medication and has recently started going downhill again, I'm not entirely sure what to do. This is a...

So there’s no antibiotic? Lasix is frusemide isn’t it? He is symptomatic of a URI based on his noisy breathing. What are they waiting for to diagnose? Definitely weigh daily as that will give you more evidence of an unwell pig but the diuretics will mask some of what is happening there...

Metacam is the absolute minimum level, whether that is cat (0.5 mg/ml) or the three times stronger dog (1.5 mg/ml) solution. It is pretty much cosmetic. Karidox is doxycycline but I am not sure in which concentration as it is marketed for poultry and pigs. That may explain the low dosage...

Hi, my 4 year old girl Flora has just gone through this very thing although of course it may have a different cause. The important bit is that Flora is just finishing her course of Septrin for the URI and she is also on Frusol, twice a day, 0.3ml of 40mg/5 ml each time. This is about 2.4mg each...

I went to the emergency vet tonight, as Brambles is retching and sneezing fluid. She was fine at veggies this morning, no weight loss however this evening she didn't come out for veggies. The vet has advised it is a Uri, I am currently trying to syringe feed however it's almost impossible due...

Both my guineas have been on antibiotics for quite a while due to a very nasty uri. Peppers been on antibiotics for 4 weeks now, and Rexy 3 weeks. The vet didn’t prescribe a diuretic but since rexy has some noise in her chest and peppers is mostly in her throat/ nose, i think they would help...

Thank you for sharing your experience! Custard is similar to your Flora. She’s just under 4, and last time she had the fluid in lungs, once that cleared, they redid the X-ray and there was no enlarged heart. However the on and off clicky upper respiratory breathing had come and go over the last...

No they did not prescribe anything else. And yes lasix is frusemide. I do not know what they are waiting for but the noisy breathing is mainly noticiable when she is resting and relaxed (I am aware of the normal sound they make when they are relax it is not that). I didn’t record a video of it...

Hi, me again, so unfortunately our little guinea pig took a turn for the worse yesterday, she went back to the vets and they admitted her. She had oxygen support initially, iv fluids, antibiotics and diuretics. She was coping without oxygen last night but still hadn’t eaten and they felt it was...

Well, that vet appointment could not have gone better. I was very brave (!) and managed to tell my vet in no uncertain terms that I wanted a trial of heart meds, preferably both diuretic and ACE-ihibitor. While I've nudged her towards certain medication choices before, I've never been quite so...

This is probably going to be a long one but I could really use some advice and support regarding my 7 year old sow Delilah. Delilah has quite a few problems going on, she's a complicated case at the moment. She has been very healthy all her life, never needed a vet until after turning 7, she's...

Ask if you could trial a few weeks on a diuretic, to see if it makes a difference. You could try and book him in with Simon too, for when you are here next week.
