Sick piglet
Hello. I'm new here. I was really delighted to find this forum. I've been doing a bit of hobby farming on our place for the last few years and I'm keen to take it up a notch. I hope to learn heaps on here.
I also have a question. I have two 4 week old piglets. One of them is sick. My gut feeling is that it's either constipated from being introduced to solids or has a gut obstruction from swallowing something untoward. I've been giving it some prune juice to make it go to the toilet but no results yet. Can you give a piglet paraffin like you do when horses get colic? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
