I have 2 pigs, one is about 20 lbs and the other is about 35 lbs. They are both coughing. They eat and drink but lay around alot. I have given them both a shot of Antibiotics (LA200) a few days ago and the cough has gotten better but not went away. Should I give them another dose? Or give them something else?
Thanks,

One of them got worse. Breathing really hard and not eatting. I called my vet and he said to give him 3 cc of penacillin for 3 days. He is alot better, eating again but still coughing a little.
Thank you for the reply.

| Try using Nuflor. We had the same problem last year and used the Nuflor and it did the trick. It's a 2 shot treatment; 1 shot & 48 hrs later second shot.

It also could be lungworm. I had a older boar cough for several weeks. Tried all that antibiotics and my vet said it could be lungworm.
To treat, use safegard cattle paste. Treat for 2 times more than actually body weight.
It cured my boar with in two days.

| Go to the vet office and get you some swine Excede, Draxxin, or Excenel. I have had lots of luck with these 3 antibiotics. The Excede and Draxxin are long-lasting drugs and you only have to give it once. If you have one that is really sick you may try the Excenel instead for a stronger spike. But you have to give it three days. I think they are too little to be infested with lungworms, but a shot of Ivomec ought do the trick. Last edited on Tue May 6th, 2008 06:14 pm by LSG
