Morning everyone

I started feeling like i'd swallowed several razor blades yesterday - i've woke up this morning to full blown cold :(

Should i avoid contact with my piggies and ask my hubby to see to them for me? or would a good hand sanitising lotion and avoiding sneezing/coughing on them be ok?

Hubby says i'm been far too cautious but i just dont want my piggies getting ill!

Thanks in Advance

Mandy
 
As far as I know it is still a matter of debate. I would think that good basic hygiene and no cuddling sessions should do the trick.

URI is basically a bacterial infection, not a cold/flu virus, so you are not transmitting that!

Any more for any more on this topic? I'm in the throes of a stinking cold but was really looking forward to some proper piggle catching up time this weekend :(
