Anyone got any advice on this? Our girl was doing brilliantly having delivered 11 piglets and eating and drinking loads. Then last evening, (2 weeks after farrowing) I went in and noticed that she had been sick about 7 times and was not drinking, and was out of sorts, tho still happy to let piglets feed. The vet has been today and checked her out. No temperature, stools are fine and she has eaten and drunk, but not her full quota and she is not bothered about the pig nuts really.
Prior to farrowing she has lived in an ark in our top field, and we moved her into a small barn (with concrete yard) for farrowing and she is still there. So I did wonder if she might be iron deficient (usually spending so much time snouting in mud). She has not been sick agin but is not that bothered about eating and is a bit lacklustre to say the least. Still being a good mum, tho!
Any thoughts would e really appreciated.
