Yesterday my piglets dumped their water troughs. It’s roughly 80°, they had access to feed but were without water at some time throughout the day. Today two piglets, 8weeka, have siezure, frothing, lethargy, dog sitting, and unsteady gait. I cannot get into the vet until Tuesday. Help

Salt Poisoning

Inactive pigs may not consume enough water to control salt concentrations in their bodies. Cool weather may also contribute to this problem for pigs housed outdoors. The signs of salt toxicity include seizures, walking aimlessly, blindness, or abnormal sitting or standing positions.

Thank you so much. I’m treating them for salt poisoning now. They will probably not make it. Thank you for the love.
