I'm noticing she's not pooping quite as much since I switched back to the regular piglet formula and electrolytes. Still runny, but it's got a lot of color back in it. It was very pale yellow last night. Today it's thicker.
I found some scour meds. Not 100% sure if it says for E coli or not. When my step father goes to get it I will have him check. Ive been giving her pedialyte every 3 hrs.
And another question. Should I be concerned for myself, my child, or my other pets getting E coli from her? She's still alive, but when she's awake all she's doing is squatting and eating
I'm worried little bit has E coli :( she's not stopped pooping since earlier. I've given her pedialyte to keep her hydrated, but that's all I can do at this point. How fast does E coli take piglets her age?
I switched her to the regular pig formula. Has 24% protein compared to 30% in the colostrum formula. Hopefully it helps! Her poop started going clear so it has me super worried :( how can I ensure sure doesn't get dehydrated?
She is pooping quite a bit. I'm worried it's considered diarrhea because it's that mustard liquid and she's let out a lot. She's drank a good bit too but I'm worried she's having the runs. Should I stop with the colostrum and go right to piglet formula?
She's peed twice now. Ate 3 times. Hasn't pooped yet but has tried. I tried helping simulate her butt but it didn't help any. She's so sweet! She's already demanding attention when she's awake. Nudging on my, rooting, curling in my lap:love
This was the 3 before the 2 died :/ they were seizing and having trouble getting air so we put them down :( the other one that died first was the biggest one of the litter. Is there anything I need to do for thE mom to help her dry up without getting mastitis or anything?
She fell asleep. She's a tad under a lb I do believe. She definitely wasn't getting enough milk because the two black ones were smaller than the white and black ones. But the two females were also the black ones. Should I wait until she stirs to feed her? She stopped shivering when she got settled.
She's shaking a little but she won't sit still long enough to feel heat from the pad or lamp!! She finally sat still! She's been all over since she ate
We are down to just one. I got kid colostrum formula but she had already pooped so I'm guessing she got SOME of mommas milk. She's doing great so far. She drank 9ml of milk when I fed her. How much should she be drinking? She's taking a syringe but not a bottle, just like Boots did
