Be sure NO ADDED IRON on the vitamins.

If you use liver, if you chop it into tiny, bug-sized pieces and drop it in front of her they will likely eat it on their own with no hesitation once they figure out what it is.  Unless she is very sick and not eating anything on her own.

found the drops! Do you know how much how often?

Is she drinking water? If so, you can put in the waterer for her to get that way.

Some will put a couple drops in the beak if they aren't drinking but you must be very careful doing that so that they don't aspirate into the lungs.

Here is directions for administering liquid by mouth:

Need some ideas from fellow swine owners! We are going to be picking up a couple pigs and I would like to see picks of your housing set ups? If anyone has any and would like to share please help me out thanks!

Dad is in the hospital, ICU. We had him taken by ambulance last night. He was in congestive heart failure. His valve has calcified to the point it wasn't allowing blood flow more than a trickle. They ballooned the valve, twice and was able to get it opened enough to allow somewhat normal passage. He is on oxygen, and they are trying to get him drained out of all the fluids. He was having allergic type symptoms last 2 days, but when he started having chest pains and panting we called 911.
FDA still has not approved the 29MM replacement valve needed to do his surgery. He has an unusually large aortic valve, thats the hold up. They currently only allow a 26mm valve. Dr said he is stable for now but needs the surgery soon. It is supposed to pass FDA in July so fingers crossed. The alternative valve is too high of risk, it would mean open heart. He is 80 and Dr feels he couldn't survive the procedure. Please, keep my Dad in your prayers.

How scary! I'll be remembering you and your Dad. Will he be in the hospital until he has surgery? You're going to have your hands extra full -- be sure to keep taking care of yourself. Wish we were closer to help you out
