Black Iberian pig update. Bottle baby looks like she is going to make it.
We had 70+ piglets this summer and all are doing well -- except this one. She was pretty hobbled with two bad legs, spent most of the day on her side, and just couldn't compete for food. We isolated and began bottle feeding her. We also thought one of her legs was infected so began a course of antibiotics. After about five days, she is really starting to bounce back. She is still a bit gimpy, but she is beginning to move around and come after the bottle. We were very worried we would have to euthanize her. So glad she is responding to the antibiotics.
