We are bottle feeding 2 piglets inside because they were the 2 weakest of the litter, extremely chilled, and one of them has a big wound(which we are treating). They are 1 week old today.
The one piglet was doing well but developed scours over the last 3-4 days. We have been giving an oral treatment 2x daily(as per the instructions) but it doesn't seem to be touching the problem. He is still eating well. They did get an iron shot yesterday. Should I be administering an electrlyte solution along with his normal feeding because he has lost a little weight.
I found a recipe for one:
1 qt. warm water
3 tblsp black strap molasses
1 tblsp baking soda
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
Thank you,
Eric
