I wasn't impressed with him, they didn't manage to take her temp either so maybe she was too mobile.

She didn't make a fuss when I jabbed her, not a good sign really.  But I did get her to eat some milk and apple though.  I'm not convinced it's not mastitis there very hot.  A bit better this morning eaten half her breakfast and apples and the pigglets are looking good, it's amazing how big they are.

From an earlier post I had about breed standards for osb's three of them are looking good so I'm going to get someone out to have a look (wasn't going too if I didn't think they were worth considering)

So  :fc:  she's getting better

Good keep persevering with the fluids this is very important ( we use calf electrolytes from vet) and anitbiotics, they'll soon kick in  :fc:
make sure the piglets keep feeding to keep her milk flowing
