I have a question how long should a piggy be on baydril (sp?) For?

One of my girls started sneezing a few weeks ago so I took her to the vet which diagnosed URI but she was only on it 4 days which I though was very short.

Anyway she got better or so I thought no more sneezing and back to her normal self. Cut to this morning and I heard her sneeze again twice (we are taking her back to vet today). So I know she will have to go on to baydril again but realistically how long should she be on it for?

Just to add she hasn't lost any weight, shes actually gained. Still eating, drinking, pooping normally and still running around like a mad woman 😂
 
I think it depends on the piggy, the vet and the severity of the infection.
However you are right to take her back to the vet and I would ask for a longer course this time.
Make sure you use a probiotic as well.
 
Yes I will do thank you. I'm taking her sister too to make sure she's ok. She was still eating and drinking and acting normal when I took her so that could be why, maybe.
