What kind of toys do pigs like? What care or precautions should I take with a pregnant pig?
Pigs are natural rooters and puzzle solvers, so anything that involves nosing around with or digging in will be fun. Giant rubber balls (like the kind you see horses playing with) treats hanging from a chain, places to dig and more can all help encourage some playfulness and enrich the environment. Pregnant pigs should be up to date on any needed vaccines in your area prior to breeding, and should be fed a diet appropriate for enough nutrition for growing piglets and nursing them after birth. A growing or lactation diet is best for mom to prevent nutrient deficiencies during these high-energy periods. Signs of problems that warrant a call to the vet are lethargy, loss of appetite, failure to gain weight, or struggling to stand/move around. Depending on your production style, most pregnant sows are crated or kept in a special birthing pen that allows piglets to safely move away from mom without having her accidentally lay on or step on babies.

My pig just gave birth with ten piglets, what's the first thing should I do? Should I give them any medicines? When can I give them feeding? When can I separate them from their mother?
The only thing I would give them would be an iron injection tomorrow. Any vaccines you want to give should be done according to the manufacturer recomendation. You can put creep feed in with them straight away. You should wean them when they reach around 7kg usually at 3 or 4 weeks.

Hi I have 4 pigs (I think almost a year old, almost ready to be butchered) only problem is that 3 out of 4 are lethargic and hardly eating or drinking and won't move around. Normally they yell at me to feed them and are very loud and noisy and they j
As you probably already know if your pigs are sitting there quietly when you try to do something to them then it's safe to say that something is probably very wrong. I would first try and get us a temperature on them see if they are carrying any sort of fever and I would also look to see if they have any sort of skin lesions. Regardless of what the cause of the current problem is I'd say that it is probably not safe to eat or butcher these animals at the moment. You can contact a local veterinarian that deals with swine and see what they think but in all likelihood they will probably want to administer an antibiotic. If they do then you will have to wait the withdrawal prior to butchering and selling these animals for meat. I would also be curious to know if they have any sort of diarrhea as many swine illnesses cause this.

What can I put on my pigs sun burn. Her ears are burnt and her snout. Is there something I can put on it for pain. Can I put sunscreen on it, I don't want it to get worse.
You can use some Bag Balm on affected areas. There are sunscreens made specifically for pigs and livestock but you can also use a high SPF sunscreen for humans. Sullivan's Sun Guard is a popular sunscreen for pigs. Provide plenty of shade when she is outside or avoid going outside during the hottest part of the day.

My mini pig has a Rash (either from new skin supplement or ants) and has rubbed ant bites he got raw, which I'm pretty certain the ones by his pee hole are infected (I boarded him for the weekend going out of town Friday morning, fine, and came back
I suggest you apply this wound spray 3-4 times per day. If that doesn't help within a few days then he needs to see a vet. Also, monitor him closely to be sure he is urinating OK. It almost looks like urine scald like he has been laying in urine. It does not look like ant bites. ( https://www.allivet.com/p-8649-vetericyn-plus-livestock-utility-spray-16-oz.aspx )
