My poor Goose is only a year old and is currently dealing with her 3rd URI. I've been talking with my vet about what could be causing them because my second pig, Kiwi, has never had a URI and they have been living together all year. He thinks that Goose probably has a weak immune system or poorly developed sinuses that predispose her to infection. I'm inclined to believe him since their cage is always kept dry, as well as dust and odor free.
I just feel so bad for my poor girl. She's recovering pretty well from the most recent URI and is active with no sneezing but she still has a crusty eye so now she's on Vetropolycin eye ointment to clear that up. She's also got a slight head tilt right now but I'm hoping if we get the eye cleared up that will get better as well.
Anyone else have or dealt with chronically ill pigs? Or had a URI that affected they eyes?
