New Born Pup
My poor Spotty-pig has had a really bad run of illnesses since we got her in March. I feel like we spend our lives at the vets. First we had months of ringworm, then she got pneumonia, then 2 weeks ago she started wheezing.
We took her to the vet who said her throat was inflamed and gave her 3 different medications, twice a day. A stomach calmer, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory. After a week we took her back and the vet said it wasn't quite gone and gave her another week of the stomach calmer and anti-inflammatory. 2 days after we stopped giving this, she has started wheezing/snuffling again. Apart from the noisy breathing she seems fine, eating and running around happily.
We will obviously take her back to the vet, but I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on the cause of this? Their run is lined with fleece, so it isn't hay dust, and her sister is fine and has had no issues. I do sew in the same room, so I guess that there maybe some dust generated from that, but I wouldn't have thought enough to bother them.
Any thoughts/advice would be welcome. Thanks.
