    Unfortunately she died. Yesterday she was having spasms and was breathing heavily out of her mouth. She was doing so well yesterday morning but she suddenly deteriorated, I was considering culling but it was late at night and she had these sort of episodes before

    Pig with possible tetanus, symptoms started 10 days ago

    Yes she had been wormed in the past. She refuses to eat anything but sweet foods, now she also refuses to eat solid foods also though. She will accept liquid food so for today i blended (cow) milk, eggs and honey and she drank it all. While she is a meat pig of sorts we don’t actually have her...

    Pig with possible tetanus, symptoms started 10 days ago

    One of my pigs cannot eat very well and is displaying symptoms of anorexia. She cannot open her jaw well and every time she is prompted to eat she has to give up due to seemingly not being able to breathe. She sometimes starts coughing after attempting also. After feeding her, food tends to...
