I've got a 14 month old female Hampshire pig. She's having some health issues. At first we thought that it was 'girl stuff', and that's what the vet diagnosed. So we waited a few days but she didn't improve. We then believed she was constipated since she seemed to really strain when trying to go #2, and nothing would come out, so we spent 5 days stuffing her with different kinds of enemas, feeding her oil, and giving her all sorts of stool softeners and laxatives. All types, for man and beast. Then, she got a little fever, and we put her on antibiotics and a de-wormer. She eventually pooped a little, but not much. She seems to have slightly labored breathing, and occasionally tries to throw up (or it looks like that anyway)
We're more than 2 weeks into this, and she is incredibly lethargic and will only eat/drink chicken broth. NOTHING ELSE. She sleeps most of the time, but does sit up when we make her and walks around a little bit, too. Just no idea what else makes a pig not want to eat. She seems in a little bit of pain when she tries to lay back down, but other than that seems pain free. She's urinating and drinking water, too.
Any guesses out there?
