[Gpdd] HEALTH: Colic drops for gassy pigs

[bunsnpigs at aol.com]

Penny, I was so excited to find?Gripe Water?at my health food store! I now use it as well. Peter Gurney was the first one to recommend it, and yes, I always thought it had a weird name! It does appear to work well. I also use the simethicone drops. We get it here in the pharmacy and it is called Baby Mylicon.

I know that the meds that we can buy vary enormously between our respective 
countries but in England, I always used to give gassy piggies 2 or 3 mls of baby 
gripe water.

Overseas members will probably be saying what the heck is that. It is made using 
the herb dill and was widely used for babes in England. One of my sons got 
through bottles of it as a babe but now we have the baby colic drops, I keep one 
called Infacol in the piggy first aid box. It is based on simeticone ( different 
spelling to the US ingredient but probably the same thing ).

The piggy dose of this remedy is 1ml. and it can be repeated during the day. 
Roscoe had a nasty tummy upset recently and can testify to its efficacy.

Penny and the Piggyfriends, paws still crossed for Hershey.
