My GPs seem to be sick

Question
HI I am a 3rd year vet student and today i notice my two pet GPs are not as active as normal, so i did check their hydration state and listened to their lung and heart sounds, I realise they have this abnormal breathing sounds, it sounds like they are forcing air into their lungs, but it also seemed like they purposely do so... they are not eating and drinking as much as they should and they are panting, one of them also rest with it's head put on the bedding.....which seems like a dog sleeping with it's chin touching to ground. I am very worried, and would like to know what to do to help them improve. Thanks heaps.

Answer
Hi Robin

From what you tell me it sounds like the problem might be a respiratory one and antibiotics may be in order. Bactrim is the normal one to give for lung problem and respiratry disorders.

Perhaps you should get one of your colleages to take a look at your pigs too.
