Unknown Disease

[goatkind]

Hello,
I recently lost one of my three pigs to an unknown illness and now one of my others is sick. The first one that died was weak, didn't have an appetite, and mostly just laid in the shelter the whole time. The pig that is sick now is about 3 months old and weighs about 50-60 pounds he is showing most of the same symptoms except he still eats a little bit. As I was watching him today I noticed that he has small pebble like feces and that his anus(?) was red when he goes to the bathroom but there is not blood or anything. Let me know if you need more information. Thanks!

How old were the others when they were sick? And how long did they have these signs before they died? Do they have a fever?

Have they been wormed? I'd call the vet at this point and see what they have to say.

The other was probably about 2 and half months and had symptoms for about 2 or 3 weeks and didn't have a fever. Yes they have been wormed and I will try calling the vet.

I know nothing about pigs, but saw your post a few days ago. Came across this article this morning. It is under random ramblings.
