Hello, My piglet Fitzgerald started having sneezing fits about a week ago. I took him to the vet as soon as I could, and his lungs were cloudy, apparently, so he was prescribed a generic version of baytril and a probiotic. The diagnosis is that he probably inhaled some hay dust, so he might...

So my girl moose has been pretty beat down with a URI, she’s been on baytril and metacam since thursday and i’m seeing a huge improvement. However she stopped eating solids due to this and i’ve been syringe feeding her Emeraid and Pro c. At first she was reluctant to feed but the antibiotics are...

Hi everyone, My 11 month old boar went to the vets yesterday because after coming back from my summer holiday I noticed his breathing sounded a bit louder. The vet said his right lung was slightly crackly so we’ve been given 5 days of baytril. All throughout he has been eating normally, maybe...

Hi everyone I’m new here! I just need some advice, my 5 year old sow was taken to vets 3 days ago because she’d had a eye infection, which quickly turned into sneezing & popping noises as well as really heavy breathing so they gave us baytril 0.4 twice a day, Anyways.. so I took her back...

*bolded stuff is the most important & the rest is mostly extra info Hi, I’m a new piggie owner, and one of my girls has been making a small whistling sound when she breathes, like when your nostril is blocked a bit so it whistles. I plan on checking on her tomorrow to see if she’s still making...

Hello everybody! I'm worried about our 2.5 year old boar Manteli. We have had him and his brother for almost a year. Yesterday night he became very different from his usual self, it was like he was scared and suspicious of everything in sight. He is a shy boy in general but this was different...

Hello, my guinea pig, Bailey, has a URI. She has been on Meloxicam and Enrofloxacin for 5 days now and she still doesn’t seem to be improving. She is still eating, drinking, and pooping, but it is significantly less than normal. I had another visit with her today to the vet and she gave me...

Hello, I have a girl who's been sneezing lately a lot and making this hooting sound when she tries to sleep sometimes. I took her to the vet recently because I thought it was a URI. The vet said her lungs sounded clear; however, I gave her antibiotics for two weeks. It's been a little less...

Hi there! So my 3.5 year old guinea pig had a URI that I caught in time and was support, but after 2 rounds of antibiotics sounds so much better. However, she has completely stopped squeaking and is really not herself. She seems less active and interested in interactions etc. however, she is...

Hi all I have 2 3.5 year old guinea pigs, both of whom have had medical issues in the past. Bessie had an odd head tilt and bulgy eyes at first. We got them both during the start of the pandemic and good vet care was scarce so we had to bring her to the vet from the local store we got them...

Hi hi! My 4 month old girl, Café, her wheaks got noticeably raspy/not crisp+sharp one morning after rescuing her from her head getting stuck in a toilet paper tube. She was screaming a lot, so I wasn’t sure if it was because of that. Her wheaks stayed raspy from then on. I listened to her...

Hey! The piggie in question is our boy Minkus, he’s a rescue though I suspect around 4-5 y/o, for a nice few months now he does a little cough, but that’s normally when he’s eating or drinking and he IS a chunky guy so we’re thinking that’s just due to eating or drinking too fast. He’s been...

Hi everyone! I am posting because I heard my newest piggie, Café, sneeze today. She’s been with us for a week now. She is from PetSmart, however she seemed to be under great care as the small pet specialist was extremely knowledgeable and showed great care for all the animals as I watched her...

Well here it goes. As most of you will be aware, me and my boyfriend travelled up to Rutland House to see the incredible Dr Varga and Craig to say goodnight to our wonderful girls Bea (5.5), Mouse (5.5) and Meep (2.5) this afternoon. My parents, best friend and brother also came over to say...

Hi all! Just wanted to ask if anyone has had a similar experience of their URI piggies having heavy snotty loud breathing when first being nebulised with f10? And if so how long did it take to settle down?

Hi all! I’ve made a new thread on here as my other one wasn’t receiving any replies. I have three pigs who’ve been on Baytril for over 2 weeks now and I have seen very little progress. They began gaining weight and being a bit more energetic, but that was about it, their snot also cleared...

Hi Guys! For those of you who don’t know the situation, I have three piggies, all been in Baytril for a URI for 2+ weeks with very few noticeable improvements (slight increased appetite, not losing weight drastically) they are still all have bright green snot, are lethargic, and have clicky...

Hello all, My 1.5-2yo (rescue so unsure of exact age) boar Pollen developed clear, thin discharge from only his right nostril 2 nights ago. He also seems to have some increased tearing of his right eye. He is otherwise behaving totally normally, eating/drinking normally, and peeing and pooping...

Hi all! I gotta rush my guinea pig to the emergency vet in the morning…only weeks after the death of my last one (due to a mass, not a contagious illness) I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar and what the outcome was, or if anyone had any input while I wait...

I have been advised to start a new thread here for my poorly boar, Boris. His previous thread with background and problems up til now is here. Short summary: Boris is a neglected boar I recently adopted. He is very skinny, has lice, a bad URI, and probable ear infection. He wheezes a lot, and...
