Cut nipple

Post by Pig whisper » Thu Jan 25, 2018 9:07 pm

I have a sow in the crate with her babies and saw that a heat lamp got knocked down and the glass broke and cut one of the sow’s nipples. I put iodine on it, it still has milk as well and dosnt seem to be hurting her too bad. Should I give anti- Biotics or just keep washing it with iodine? Thankyou !

I would give her antibiotics just in case. But she will probably be fine without.
