Is my Potbelly sick or just not feeling the weather?

I can't remember what gauge needle we used either. I just don't have a good memory for anything at all. But I'm sure at tractor supply they can let you know what size needle you would need to get through his thick skin. I hope everything works out. Keep me posted on progress

Where and how did you give it? I.e in the muscle or under the skin?

We gave in a fatty part. His rear is pretty fatty

Great, I gave it to him in the rear. Though our TSC was out of the LA300, so I got some Duramycin 72-200 and gave him a does of that. I hope it helps! He was NOT happy about being stuck with a needle though, he put up one heck of a fight. I'm glad my son was there to help me or it would've been a mess. I will update in the morning if he seems to be doing any better

I hope so too. Poor little guy. My porkchop just flinched and that was it. Maybe cause he didn't want to even get up. Glad you got something in him. Keep me posted on how he's feeling

He seemed to be feeling better this morning, though he was still coughing. He actually came out and got him something to eat. He's not very happy with me though not even a treat made him happier with me lol. Kinda hurts my feel bads knowing he's so upset with me, I'll get him buttered up one way or another

 

[Birdsong 82]

He will!! Your his momma. All kids get mad at their momma and go right back to loving. My daughter does it al the time. Lol. I'm glad he's doing a little better. Maybe a treat will butter him up

My pchop loves a belly rub. Maybe that will help! Hope he keeps getting better

 

[LexsPeeps]

He's usually begging for belly rubs but he ran off to his "room" and didn't come back out lol

How's your porkchp doing? He feeling any better? Warming up any better?
