Hi everyone,
I just bought my new piggy Oreo last Friday, 5 days ago. He seemed to be sneezing a lot, and closing his left eye. I took him to the vet on Monday, and it turned out that he had a mild URI and some conjunctivitis in his left eye. He is currently on medication twice a day for the URI and I apply cream to his left eye 3 times a day and will continue to do so for 10 days. He is my only piggy, but my boyfriend and I are both college students, and we really think he?s going to need a younger male pig to join him so that he won?t be as lonely during the day while we?re in our classes. I was wondering how long (generally speaking), Oreo will be contagious with his URI. I don?t want to bring another pig in u til he?s feeling better and done with the medication. Does anybody have any other opinions about this, on how long I should wait to adopt another piggy?
