Piggy Pals

I've heard what sounds like a honking noise coming from our herd of 3 (Chippy, Lilly, and Suzy). Can't tell which piggy it is. Sandy (from our other herd) is prescribed antibiotics for a possible URI. I'm worried that it's transmitted to the other herd. Will call the vet this morning and see about making an appointment. 😕
 
Oh dear! Try picking up each one and putting their face to your ear to find out which one is honking. A honking piggy sounds very different to one who is breathing normally. Have a hug cos its a worrying time! :hug:

Thanks so much. Will definitely do that. Heard one honk noise last night and one today so far. Sandy is receiving supplementary feeding and it's stressful for her, but she is starting to get used to it. (Stressful for me too. I worry so much!) I just hope that all of our girls will be ok!
 
Got an appointment for Thursday night of this week. That's the soonest we can get in. They can only see one Piggy. I have to figure out which one is honking and if it's more than one of them I have to call the vet back and beg them to see more than one. They are just always so busy there it's hard to get in. We have so few exotic vets around here. I just hope my girls are okay.
 
Forgot to ask this afternoon - how did the vet appointment go?
Did you work out who was honking?

Lovely to ‘meet’ your piggies today

We heard two honks total, but that was it. Everyone was breathing, eating, peeing, pooping normally. Weight stable. Spoke with vet and decided to postpone appointment for now and keep an eye in case other symptoms arise. I'm assuming one of them had a bit of hay stuck because there were no further issues. Thanks for asking!
 
I think they do this to worry us!
I remember getting an emergency vet appointment for Merab who spent a day honking.
She stopped when we got to the vet, a thorough check couldn’t find anything wrong. My very dignified old lady swore when a thermometer was stuck up her bum and vet thought it was probably just some dust or hay that had blocked her nose.
Hope yours stay ok now
