Hi, My daughter has two 7 month old piggies who live in her bedroom.
At the moment my daughter has a cold and stuffy nose especially at night. I wanted to give her some vicks vapour rub or olbas oil at night but I think I recall reading somewhere a while ago that eucalyptus and pine are bad for piggies breathing. Anyone else heard of this? ?/obviously we wont use anything until we are sure its safe. Thanks:{
 
I dab a tiny bit of Vicks or olbas oil on my piggies' nose when they have a very stuffy nose or upper respiratory tract infection (URI). I would therefore assume that it is OK.
