Default Sick pig :-( advice



I would try to get some Oxbow Critical Care and syringe feed her several
times a day until she is eating normally. The Oxbow has probiotics in it as
well as all sort of piggy vitamins needed to keep her strength up. It is a
powder (anise or apple flavor) that is mixed with water and syringe fed. My
pigs love it and even lap it off a spoon. I buy it from the vet's office.
Phone Oxbow and find out who in your area is selling Oxbow products or check
retail locations on their site:

http://www.oxbowhay.com/link.sp?page=retail

At the very least, you should be force feeding her with baby food veggies
(in a 10cc oral syringe) and maybe even electrolyte solution (if she isn't
drinking as much) so that she doesn't get dehydrated.

As an aside, I would urge all you pig owners to keep a package of Oxbow
Critical Care and 10cc oral syringes in your piggy first aid kit at all
times. It has saved my pigs countless times during periods of illness. I
wouldn't ever feel safe without it close by. And no...I am not an Oxbow
dealer...just a concerned piggy owner!

If Bud is not drinking water you need to get some fluid in via a
mouth syringe...they get a lot of fluid through eating if they are
used to green stuff..vegetables,grass etc...it will help keep them
going while nature (or the vet) resolves the problem. post again
if you need help with this.
