Little help please

[Mouse14]

Also I contacted my vet about when he does castration and he says a minimum of 3 months. :/ I'm thinking of calling another farm vet (the only other one here ) about when he does them.

Ok runt is definitely constipated helped stimulate her until she dropped two little balls of poop. She's off to a bad start at life from the get go. I know she has more in there but it's just getting the hard poop out first. She strains and strains. Gets pushed by the bigger ones, can't get it out, strains some more

does the vet have anything you could give her to help?

I didn't notice she was until after they closed at 12. They close early on Friday. I would guess they'd say juice but it's so young idk. And the iron shot will just make it worse.

Can you give a tiny little pig a tiny little enema? I'm just asking because that's what I'd do with a goat kid.... I wouldn't know about a pig though. Just an idea - maybe someone else can chime in.

 

[Mouse14]

I'd be scared to do that :/ it's super tiny. I wouldn't even take my son's temp rectally. Could a 3 day old baby (it'll be 3 days when I can get something for this problem) have pumpkin puree? That or prune juice or baby food was going to be my next thought

Guess going to call the vet first thing in the morning about it. Want it tackled before it gets out of hand or causes her harm.

They're so sweet. The runt is the black one laying beside the white and black. He's the next to the smallest piggy

Well the vet said a pediatric enema. This is going to be super difficult lol. This baby is so small!

Huge fail. I did stimulate it with a wet warm rag and it did poop some scours and ended with a little more brown hard poop. Progress though! Hoping soon he won't need help. Discovered it's a boy not a girl. It's rectum just looked like female parts with how stopped up he was! Going to keep watching him and aid him to go when I can. I hope it's enough. We only have 1 girl in this entire clan! Out of 10 there were 3 females
