[Gpdd] [HEALTH] urinery Infection

[Heather Cougar]

I've never dealt with an infection in my pig before (knock 
wood) but I can definitely say that the first thing to do is 
that if your vet is behaving as if your pig is "just a rodent", 
then *get a new vet* ASAP. That's shameful.

Your pig may need a different antibiotic or dosage if she's not 
responding (a vet who doesn't know enough about pigs to see 
them as more than just a rodent may not have prescribed the 
right one!), and you also need to make sure she is getting pro-
biotics, acidophilus or yogurt with live cultures to keep her 
gut flora healthy. Even feeding her poops from one of your 
healthy pigs, unpleasant as it may sound, will help accomplish 
this.

What is your geographic location, so maybe someone can refer 
you to a different vet?
