Oct 16, 2006 · I would have a vet check the sick pig and diagnose its illness. It could only be something that a course of antibiotics can take care of, then just wait out the withdrawal period before slaughter.

Sep 24, 2013 · We did a little looking in our pig books and discovered pigs can get really sick and be lethargic for a few days, then fully recover. Then again they can never recover.

Aug 3, 2014 · Have another pig that's starting to show some of the signs that the one that died showed. Hunched back, back legs don't appear to be working as well and just a general lack of energy. Tried the pig site diagnostics but didn't come up with anything.
