Why is my potbelly pig screaming in pain then suddenly okay?

It's possible Sally could be a bit constipated, ill, or have irritation/infection that is causing some swelling or discomfort. If she can't go potty at all, there is swelling/oozing of debris, or she seems in distress, it is a good idea to bring her to your vet for an exam. Otherwise, keeping everything clean and dry and making sure she is eating and drinking may help her stay comfortable.

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.

Thanks for reaching out about Tuna and including a photo. If seizuring, needs to be taken to the veterinarian immediately. Ingested toxins, metabolic disease (liver, kidney), and other problems are likely. Get to the vet now. Good luck.

I'm so sorry about Pig. Ideally he needs to see a vet as he may have a spinal cord lesion, pelvic fracture or other fracture. He may have a collapsed disc or broken vertebra. Spinal cord lesions may not always start with full paralysis. He needs to be kept fairly quiet to help allow for healing but knowing the extent of his injury will help determine if he can recover. He also may need pain medication which is only available by a prescription from the vet. After exam the vet may likely recomend radiographs to look for the lesion. The sooner a diagnosis is made and treatment started the better his chance of recovery.

Thanks for reaching out about Peanut Butter. Sometimes vocalizing while handled is a sign of discomfort. So is being secretive. A veterinary visit is recommended as soon as possible. Try to offer water and food via syringe until the visit. An emergency visit over the weekend might be a good idea. Good luck.

IT looks like Blossom is a micro mini pot belly pig. I would recommend continue to monitor the cough as long as he is eating, drinking and using the restroom normally . However if blossom is not eating or starts to act lethargic I would recommend taking her to a vet to make sure she does not have an upper respiratory infection that needs addressed. I hope that helps

Bacon should be examined by your veterinarian to diagnose illness or injury. Once a diagnosis is made, the appropriate treatment can be administered. Do not wait to see if he improves. Dehydration is a very real concern that can complicate any underlying condition.
