Hi, all!
I took my piggie Minni to the vet today because she had been making a hooting sound for the past month or so, maybe three or four times. I researched some and I posted here asking about it and I was told that it could probably probably pneumonia or heart problems, and that it was most likely something to do with the heart.
However! The vet said that it was none of those. He didn't hear anything abnormal with the heart or the lungs, no crusty eyes or runny nose. I asked for an xray to rule out the heart problems and nothing showed. He said that it was probably allergies.
I am really at a loss here. Could it be allergies? He prescribed her 0.25ml of Prednisone twice a day for 5 days and then once a day for another 5 days.
Anyone have any clue about this? I just don't want her to be misdiagnosed and suddenly find her dead in a corner one morning They are a very good vet practice, but I don't think they are very piggie savvy, but it's the only one around in my small city right now.
Sorry for the long post! Any help/advice is really appreciated.
