Title: Coughing piglets: pneumonia?
Post by: plt102 on September 03, 2019, 11:21:59 pm

Hi there, we have a 5 week old litter of saddlebacks. They are not growing as fast as our other litters, a few coughing a bit and now one is quite listless. We are thinking pneumonia and we’re going to jab them with pen and strep but internet says oxytetracyclin might be better. Has anyone had experience with this? any advice welcome.

It could be pneumonia. It could also be worms. I would speak to your vet asap.
