My poor baby is suffering again :( He's got a bit of vick on his nose like last time and is currently in the front room (which is much warmer) , curled up asleep!

Do you think it has something to do with his age that he has a cold again?

x
 
awww bless him, got visions of him curled up on a rug toasting his little butt in front of the fire, maybe as they get older their immunity to bugs and viruses drops which means hes picking them up more easily :-*
 
LOL yeah - I'll get some pics :D

You're right :)
He justs scares me some days, more so of his age :(
 
Darling Tonic, get well very very soon.

We are all sending loads of love to you and so looking forward to meeting you in a couple of weeks xxxxx

is it ok to give that to them :)? Hils mentioned calpol too
 
I have :) Used to give them calpol too - but that is sometimes more of a pain reliever. Tixylix I've got is for runny, sore and blocked up noses - infant colds

Just got the bottle - for coughs and colds, soothes coughs, clears congestion and relieves runny and blocked noses
 
ok got it and given it out
the faces they pulled was hilarious and ive not got sticky fingers and they have sticky chins,lol
 
You have to be extremely careful when doing things like this at home - respiratory infections are almost always caused by bacteria that need to be treated with antibiotics. Inexperienced owners reading this should bear this in mind when considering what to do with a pig with a runny nose.

Recurrent URIs can also indicate heart problems.

Totally agree with you, but am an experienced owner, not an expert by any means, but do know quite a bit on them - Tonni being almost 7 :)
 
I gave Ton 0.2 ml morning and night for almost 2 days :) Piggies all over a year? Young ones I only give half the dosage or 0.15 ml depending on age

He's not snuffly now :)
