Can someone show me a visual on the best way to give a shot? I've heard in front of the neck above the shoulder, but she was a nightmare yesterday and we placed it too high. I mean it worked because her eyes are clearing up, but how can we more easily do this?

No. We explained what was going on with her but he doesn't specialize in pigs so he couldn't really say.

Not really nope :( she's been given 2 doses of Baytril from the vet. We gave her dose one today. She was NOT a happy camper! Hopefully we see some improvement tomorrow

Both of her eyes are crusted shut so we are getting some meds from an on call vet today.

I was told she could be getting an upper respiratory infection. With her eyes crusted shut. I don't have a vet that will see a piglet this size. :/ how will I know if she does indeed have one or if it's just funny pig stuff?

And yes same formula. There's no mold, or smell to it so I've continued using it

Napping under the heat lamp :) when she isn't snorting and trying to escape

I think 2 weeks old was the recommended time to add a few bits of feed with milk in a dish. She will be a week old monday. And she now has both eyes gunked shut. So maybe it is a winter thing. I've opted against the iron shot since it can cause diarrhea, which she doesn't need more of. She is...

I was basically asking if I need to get something stronger than the SpectoGard since she's not really made an improvement poop wise. I'm almost 100% sure she's got E coli at this point.

No, that her eye may be sore from a tag from a blanket or stuffed animal. Is the poop supposed to be orange before it gets better? She's still eating as much as ever. She doesn't act like she's losing energy or anything. She's started trying to escape the box she's in.

I'm thinking a tag from a blanket may have caught her eye :/

Okay good deal. I just gave her dose 4 of her spectogard. Her poop isn't any better and has taken on a gross smell and is now orange red in color. Do you think she will be okay with the SpectoGard until Monday when I can get her antibiotics? I was told adding egg to her milk is beneficial? I'm...

The only thing is we were all kissing on her the day she ended up with scours.

Yes, being very careful! :) she's definitely gained some weight too. A good bit of it by my judgement. Sweetest thing.

Her little eye crusty. Only in one eye. We've named her Pugsy Hope. Her nose is the smallest I've ever seen lol and hope because I'm holding out hope I can save her. She's supposed to become my mom's pig. We will see lol

Okay so she's had 2 doses of spectogard. Her poop is darkening and is slightly thicker I'd say. Smells god awful though. Almost like a funky foot smell. I was told a 10 day old piglet should be getting 2 tablespoons a feed. That seems kind of excessive imo but I wasn't sure. I've been giving her...

We didn't get it yet. I'm getting it this morning. I'm taking her with me to town while my son is in therapy. I read some pigs just get gunky eyes, but neither of my older pigs have ever had runny eyes. She still has diarrhea, but she hasn't pooped nearly as much. Last night for 6 hours straight...

Her eyes are getting gunky. Will the Oxytetracycline treat that as well?

She's not lost any weight so far
