The doxy went down behind the metacam 
Polo hasn't made any noises at all today, which is really great. So it surely can't be a heart issue as he has responded to the doxy. The vet said that X rays can be inconclusive as fat can obscure things. It is a bit of a guessing game. I'm just pleased that for now that he is breathing OK ❤

Besides the obvious good news in that post of yours methinks there's a banned word in that sentence.

Any wheezing?

No Today has been all clear and the doxy went down behind the Metacam nicely. Yesterday Polo's tummy seemed big and I couldn't hear much movement, so I was worried, but I gave him some premium Burgess Timothy hay and he tucked in nicely. I let him trot briefly around the room (with piggy proofing) and he enjoyed a bit of cantering across the room 
which should help to stimulate movement. I'm not sure what to expect when the doxy course is over though

We had an uneventful doxy. Polo: I swallow the metacam knowing there's going to be doxy after it but I can't help it 
MS: next Saturday should be the end of the two week course because I held off for a few days and the wheezing ame back. I hope it's gone this time.

Got some doxy on my pyjama trousers this morning 
but I think Polo got a fair amount of it. He hasn't been wheezing at all even though there is a bit of mould on the double glazing window seal. So perhaps mould has nothing to do with it. He and Truffle were out for a nice canter around the room. Truffle's weight is stable but Polo has put on a few more grams. His pellet ration is a bit less but he is getting lovely Burgess Timothy hay which smells like bread. That's alongside a cheaper brand for loafing in. There were lots of thistle type spikes in the bedding hay so MS had to wear gloves to dole it out 
but the piggies have been enjoying it

It's good he hasn't lost on the antibiotics

Yes, I still worry though. Perhaps I should keep the pellet ration up as they could be beneficial. His weight isn't that variable. They have probiotics and vitamin C and are soya free

Yes, it doesn't seem to play a significant role in this as it has still been raining and the wall is still damp

May be worth getting a reputable builder to check the wall.
The problem may be external and affecting the interior.
We had a similar problem in one of our previous homes.

Yes, it's a housing association so I'm renting. Thanks for the info. I don't know much about buildings. Hopefully they will be able to do something to stop the damp.
