Pregnant gilt with hurt leg

Post by Pig whisper » Thu Jan 05, 2017 8:32 pm

I had just moved this pregnant gilt (due feb 2ed 2017) into a new 12x24 pen by herself. I think she might have hit it on the concrete pad in the pen, she didn't want to put any pressure on her back leg. Any advice on what I should do to help her ?

Bed her deep, monitor her appetite and bowel movements. Check with your vet on appropriate pain meds.

I just walked in there and it's been 2 hours after feed time and she has no interest in her food
