Going/out could set her up for an infection and that's all you need. 500---she is far from getting ready to ovulate. Try again in 5-7 days later. Same distance is important. Gilts first time you might hav...

Re: Sow with no milk after farrowing

HogDoc...r u saying
Put CTC through the medicator as I put them into their crates 3-5 days prior to farrow date to help Prevent Lactation issues?
It is OK for a vet to write a script for this for 14 days total?

Re: How to calm my pig.

Have never used it but the Oxy-gen folks have a product called oxy-calm. You can give it in paste form like at a show about an hour before showing (I think that's the time). OR you can give a pelleted form with a loading 7 day dose and then maintenance dose or have the option to continue the animal ...

Re: One stuck!

When you use the slap shot there is approx. 4 cc of overfill you account for. So with PG600 you pull up 9cc from the bottle and attach the slap shot to your syringe to the tubing and clear the tubing. When you see medication start to push through the needle that you have attached at the other end yo...

Re: Too many worming options...HELP!

It is really hard to figure the correct safeguard dose for pigs using the paste and then pasting in that amount is a nightmare. The 100/200 lb markers on the paste are for the bigger livestock dosing, not for pigs. Pigs get far less and harder for me to figure. The swine scoop. 400lbs: 30 gms (measu...
