I all. I have two piglets - Daisy Mae (a 1 1/2 year old Abyssinian Female) and Patches (a1 year old Abyssinian Female). They both live together in a nice large C&C in our living room - right in the middle of all our activity.
Unfortunately about 2 weeks ago I noticed Dais wasn't breathing quite right. I took them both, immediately, to the vet. She said Daisy had a URI that had gotten into her lungs and Patches had "the sniffles". They were given an antibiotic that didn't really work. Within a few days Daisy was breathing harder, so they gave her Baytril. That seemed to knock it out of her. Then Patches started to sneeze more. She finally was put on Baytril as well. After a week and a half I had to get another 7 day supply (that was yesterday). They are doing well but I'm just not pleased with how they are 100%. They both sniffle a bit and sneeze a tiny bit.
My question is this - tomorrow I have a family meeting that is VERY urgent, right after work. I am told to expect it to run about 2-3 hours. I give the piglets their meds every 12 hours - 5 am, 5 pm.
SO if I move them to about 6 am tomorrow (which I can still manage before work) and don't get home until around 8 pm that night, will that hurt them?? It isn't something I will continue to do, tomorrow would be the exception since they have been on the meds for the past two weeks.
I just don't want to mess anything up for them and send them spiraling.
Thank you so much, in advance, for any help you can give me!
Blessings to you and yours,
Chelle
