So I adopted my boys about a month ago but ever since I've got them they've had uri's constantly. I've taken them to the vet two times each and have dished out over 400 in medicine and visit costs but the antibiotics don't fully get rid of it. It reduces the nasally sound and they look and feel better but it always flares back up. My vet says this is common when they get new homes and owners cause of the stress but they are both used to me now and don't run when I talk to them like they used to.
I just don't know if its something I'm doing or can change to lessen the chance of them getting worse again. My pig Boris almost died because his got so bad overnight. I give them kale, green/yellow peppers, and green lettuce everyday so they have vitamin c in their diet. I use recycled paper bedding that their old owner used, and they weren't sick with her.
I'm just worried cause I had a decent amount of savings for their vet bills but its been so constant in and out of the vet and medicine costs that I'm going to be tapped out before too long and I just want them to be healthy happy piggies.
Does anyone have any advice on what else can cause uri's and what I should be looking out for?
