[Gpdd] HEALTH: tricks for getting pigs to take Benebac

[Ginger Fitzsimmons]

Both Clover and Butterscotch are on antibiotics again. Clover's 
breathing "click" came back and Butterscotch can't seem to gain back 
any of the weight he lost earlier this summer, so he gets to join 
Clover on the meds in case he has a subclinical case of whatever Clover 
has. I wanted to give them Benebac. Clover refuses to eat it or 
anything it has touched; Butterscotch will sometimes eat it on 
especially tasty produce, but he turned his nose up at it today. I 
syringed them a mixture of water and acidophilus powder instead.

Is there a trick to getting them to take Benebac? It would be less 
traumatic for everybody if I could give them probiotics without having 
to drag them out of their run.
