Hi,
I lost a piggy early this week. It was a typical fine one day, fluffed up not eating and laboured breathing the next. I took her to the vet and syinged recovery but lost her in the night. Her long bonded mate was very depressed so I introduced him to a girl from my colony of 5. This morning I noticed she was rasping a bit when breathing and making a low sound that I couldnt tell if it was her voice or lungs. I listened to my other pigs chests and I could hear 3 out of 7 of them breathing (but no low sound). I have no idea if this is normal or if I'm being paranoid. Ive booked to take them all to the vets tonight. I have lots of experience treating gps but never a uri. I don't have a lot of faith in my vet, but she is good in that she will discuss treatment with me and isn't afraid to "check the book" so I'm trying to gather as much info as I can before I go. Does anyone have experience in diagnosing and treating uri? I've had a look at guinealynx and my pg book. Thanks.
