One of my mom's pigs Peanutbutter has been sickly ever since we got her last month. At first we thought it was a URI and then pneumonia, but after almost a month of antbiotics, there's is no improvement and none of the other pigs have ever gotten sick. A vet said she doesn't move any air in or out of her lungs and we can see her breathing really hard. Her little feet are always cold but never blue, and she's very small and scrawny. She's probably several months old, but our 6 week old piggy weighs more than her and is bigger than her, even though Peanutbutter will eat the whole box of hay in one sitting.
Today at the school my mom works in, a 2 year med student is subbing and mentioned he thinks it's congestive heart failure and that she's suffering and should be put down. We have an appointment tonight for some X-Rays, but he says this won't show up.
We're so worried for Peanutbutter; if anyone has any thoughts, please help us.
