Hey! I'm brand new to this site. I have two beautiful piggies, their names are Sage and Charlotte.
Charlotte in the front, Sage in the back.
Sage has gotten a URI. It is confirmed, because me and my mom took Sage to the vet yesterday. She is now taking a Syrup like cherry medicine, every 12 hours. The two girls share a 2x5 c and c cage, and it is spot cleaned every day. They have a corner litter box, with a towel in it. It used to have Aspen, but people have been telling me it's so bad for them. I've always used Aspen, so I don't know what to do. They're cage is layered by two towels, and two fleeces. The fleece is almost never moist, only in the places they pee the most. I change the fleece 2 times a week now that Sage has a URI. I used to change it once a week. They get fresh veggies every day, about a cup each. I use lot's of greens, and some bell peppers to add vitamine C. Now, to the question part. I didn't quite know that URI's we're contagious. Is it too late to separate them? People say that it's about a 50/50% chance for them to get it. Sage has had it since last week, and we took her yesterday. I'm confused with what to do. :eye-poppi I'm afraid that Charlotte may get it, but all she's been doing is sneezing, not everyday, more like, once every other day. Is this normal? I was going to separate them today, but I'm guessing it's too late to. I only have a 1x2 store bought cage set aside for an emergency. It's obviously too small for one pig, so I don't know what to do. If you could tell me anything you know? It would be greatly appreciated.
