Does anyone know of a website about this. Or has anyone experienced this with their own piggy please.
I would be very grateful, as I am still dealing with my poor piggy, and it seems to be going on for ever with very little improvement.
Many Thanks
Carol C

My vet will prescribe Zithromax which is a human antibiotic not licensed for use in animals if other antibiotics don't work. He says generally he gets an excellent result with it. Don't know whether your vet would give it a go.

I think your best bet might be an x-ray to see if the heart is enlarged as stubborn/recurrent URIs can be a sign of heart problems. These can also be treated with medication.
