They've actually been gaining weight since I've got them, they're about 17 weeks old. They eat like the pigs that they are, and have actually be requesting more food recently. They pee and poo like there's no tomorrow and their nose and eyes are clean and bright. They're breathing seems normal, no strange clicks or crackles.

The lack of other symptoms is what has put me off from going to the vet for this long. The posts I've read about pigs with URI's always mention something more than just a sneeze. Usually lethargy, eye discharge, lack of appetite/hydration.

I always come up with my own conclusion that they aren't sick, but then I repeat the cycle of worrying and convincing, worrying and convincing. I've ordered a pet carrier, so once that comes in and I have a way to transport them, they'll be going to the vet. Just to be sure.
