Snuffles and sore eyes 🤧

[Emx93]

It seems its the year of snuffly pigs for us! Marshmallows been on antibiotics (sulfatrim 0.3ml twice a day) for a week tomorrow and touch wood I think we are getting there! However marshmallow always gets sore looking eyes along with the snuffles for some reason, they've been vet checked and no ulcers etc and they seemed to be improving on the antibiotics then yesterday seemed worse (pics) but today seemed a bit better again is this normal with uris?
I don't know what's causing all the snuffly pig problems we are having this year but I really hope this is the last of it! Healthy piggies for Christmas please!

Aw bless her. Her eye is sore I’m wondering if eye drops from the vet may help? x

Thankyou i did think that but the vet didn't say anything about eye drops just that she'd checked both eyes for ulcers and they were OK, I've got dog, cat and nugget at the vets tomorrow so I may take marshmallow along as nuggets friend and ask about some eye drops!

Hope it clears up soon.

I just thought I would mention it as my Edward once had a sore eye and my vet prescribed a 7 day course of eye drops and they helped sooth his eye. Please keep us updated on what the vet says

Thankyou I really appreciate the advice! Marshmallow had eye drops with sore eyes when she had the snuffles back in February too! I'll see if she can squeeze in the small carrier with nugget tomorrow! (cat will be using their normal carrier)
