Here is how to help a sick teacup pig A good teacup pig owner always keeps the symptoms of the pig in the notice. Pigs do change whenever they feel sick and such symptoms should be seriously handled and accordingly, the medication should be given. Pigs love playing in sand and mud and are therefore prone to diseases. Mood swings, changes in hunger, the coloration of the urine and skin changes should be monitored regularly. Any change in these can be an indication of the underlying disease. Following are the symptoms that should not be ignored at any cost: Coughing Nasal discharge Vaginal discharge (Colorless) Constipation Elevated temperature Mood changes Dark urine Concentrated urine Breathing issues Skin color changes (rashes, pimples, etc) Loss of appetite Too much itching Hair loss (pig’s hair do not usually shed) Hemorrhage (when it is from rectum, eyes, nose or ears) Changed posture Some of the pig diseases are common and can be cured with home remedies. In any case, none of the above-mentioned symptoms or any other sign must be taken lightly. Almost every ailment can be cured well if it is detected at an early stage. Constipation, respiratory issues and skin problems like dryness and sunburns are the most common problems that the pigs face. More serious problems are associated with kidney and skin. One must definitely try that the pig stays healthy and fit always. Regular exercise and a well-balanced diet is the key to keep a pig always fit and fine. What to do when such symptoms arise? Mostly, pet pigs are potbellied pigs and it is necessary that the owner finds an experienced and professional veterinary doctor. A doctor skilled in treating the problems of teacup pigs should be employed to look after a teacup pig. When the problem is sensed well on time, then it becomes easier to cure it and the pig becomes healthy again. An owner must be very cautious related to pigs and should take good care of them because it is not so easy to find a very professional vet for a pig. Another problem that the vets face is that these pigs are developed via extreme cross-breeding of various breeds. This makes it complicated to understand the genetic history of the pig. Therefore, in a few cases, the problem is not properly detected. This tells that taking care of the pig with full devotion and attention is very important. Owners must make sure that their pig does not catch hold of any serious issue other than the regular common pig problems. All symptoms should be well checked. Most often, the mood of the pig is the biggest sign that indicates the presence of an underlying disease. Though mood swings can occur otherwise also but one must take care that they do not last for a long time. Urinary or defecation changes show the unhealthiness of a pig. All these are warning signs and a good pig owner ensures that the pig stays healthy and free from diseases. How to help a sick teacup pig
