[Tuckersmama]

Common sense tells me he needs to see a vet..

 

[Tuckersmama]

well yeah. I realize that. but when its the weekend and the closest vet is.nearly 2 hours away. I needed some advice. not a smart ***.

Penicillin or LA 200 shots for a few days should help

You asked a question..I gave you my answer. How is that being a smart ***? ..the pig needs meds and to see a vet. You asked...I answered..not sure what your problem is, as my answer was pretty simple and honest.
My guess is you don't want to spend the money for a vet and didn't like my answer...Oh well..
Good luck with him..poor thing must be in pain.

Bear foot farm is a smart cookie and knows their stuff..maybe try to find those meds he mentioned?
Good luck!

I'll tell you what I would do if he were mine. I'd go to the local livestock supply and get some mastitis tubes. You can then squirt some of the antibiotic up the sheath.

 

[Tuckersmama]

hes doing better now. no more swelling and perked on up. my guess is he got some.dirt stuck in the sheath and it got infected

Quote: That works with Penicillin too

You are right. I suggested mastitis tubes because the way it is packaged makes it ideal for getting the medication where it needs to go.
