Diarrhea in show hogs (hog doc help please!)
Diarrhea in show hogs (hog doc help please!)
Show pigs under 50 lbs exhibiting diarrhea. No loss in appetite or energy level. Other than the diarrhea you wouldn’t know they were sick. I’ve done shots of lyncomycin, Pepto in the feed as well as oats and alfalfa to try to thicken things up.they did have a cough but that seems to have gone away now. They were also recently wormed with denguard. Help! What is wrong with these pigs? Myco? Pasturella multicida? Bortella? Ulcers?
Re: Diarrhea in show hogs (hog doc help please!)
We use Tylan to clear up diarrhea. The water soluble is the easiest, but injection works too.
Is it watery or just loose?

Re: Diarrhea in show hogs (hog doc help please!)
We have one that is just loose (mashed potatoes) and one watery (go through a screen door and not touch a thread...)

Tylan is my recommendation and make sure you clean (disinfect actually) the pen well.
Re: Diarrhea in show hogs (hog doc help please!)
We gave him Tylan tonight so we will see if that helps him. Our other pig has thickened up a lot so she is doing much better so I didn’t give her tylan. What do u suggest to disinfect with? Bleach water?
Re: Diarrhea in show hogs (hog doc help please!)
yes...bleach water. Glad to hear they are getting better.
