Making sense of Harriet's xray

[Dilly's Piggies]

The vet did explain to me but apparently my mind was wandering at the time and I seem to have forgotten everything she told me!

My 2 year old sow Harriet has had issues with a snuffly nose for most of her life, last week we found out why. She had a skull xray and permanent damage to one of her sinuses was found. I just don't remember whether it was the left or right side and what exactly tells you it's damaged on the xray... Obviously I can see both sides are drastically different, I just don't remember which is normal and which is abnormal. I also don't remember if it was chronic rhinitis or chronic sinusitis that was the cause.

Can any piggy pros on here help me make sense of this? Many thanks!

With the best will in the world none of us on here are qualified to interpret X-rays. I would ask the vet for a copy of her notes if you need clarification or otherwise ping them an email and ask them to clarify.

Makes me wonder if my boy pip had this, he had noisy breathing all his life, had about 2 uri's and 1 case of pneumonia.
