Evening all.

Dilly has had a stubborn URI that has taken 2 lots of antibiotics and 2 months to clear.

She had an xray today because her breathing is still noisy. Vet says infection and the fluid on her lungs has gone but she been left with tissue damage in her nose and and throat.

Has anyone had a piggy with this? Vet said a de-humidifier might help her breathe a little easier. What do you think?

(Dilly seems happy in herself - eating ok and hasn't lost any weight. Only symptom is occasional noisy breathing. )

I have had a boar that has this from aged 2, lived to 6. But antibiotics would clear it up, only for it to come back again. I always thought it was a uri, and anyone that i told said its a uri. But it wasnt.

It made uri'a very hard to spot. He lived quite happily like it, i never tried much because at the time i didnt know much about it
