2 PIGS WITH RUNNY NOSE!!!!! HELP!!!

[cowboyclayt]

I just got three pigs and I just noticed that 2 of them have slightly runny noses. All three seem tired I think they are about 8 weeks old, a little younger. How much should they be eating? Does anyone know how to check for a fever? I don't know what to do! All the online stuff comes up under Guinea Pigs.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

Never had pigs so i dont know. You could put them in a dog crate seperated from the healthy one. Put them some place warm and dry. Thats the best advice i can give.

You take a pig's temperature by inserting a thermometer in the rectum and holding it there for a couple minutes. The normal temperature is 101.5 to 102.5. The thermometer you have in your medicine cabinet will work just fine. If it is high, the pigs need antibiotics. You can find some at the livestock supply. I am not sure how much they should be eating, but pigs are always eager to eat unless they are sick.
