Abortion

CAUSE. Sows may abort at any state of pregnancy by slipping, falling/kicks, or by being caught while crawling through or under fences. Sows may also abort when allowed to crawl in quarters where there are other hogs. Contagious diseases also produce abortion, such as Cholera. Black pleuropneumonia is also a contagious form of abortion in sows, but this is very uncommon, as the disease spreads very slowly.

SYMPTOMS. There is,no warning given as a rule, the sows expel their pigs before any signs of abortion are noticed.

In other cases the sows refuse to eat, they get uneasy, shivering and trembling of the muscles and the straining and labor pains are noticed. As a rule when a sow is injured she will not prepare a bed as she would normally.

TREATMENT. Preventative is the only safe and sure treatment. Although when the first sign of abortion appears and there are no signs of the membranes coming away, remove the sows to quiet, warm, clean quarters, off to themselves, and if straining, give one dram of Chloral Hydrate in their drinking water every two or three hours.

"When a sow aborts burn the pigs in afterbirth and disinfect the pens with Dr. Korinek's Disinfectant. Keep this up for several days and do not breed until all discharges from the vagina have ceased flowing.

Administration of Medicine to Hogs

This may seem easy, but, nevertheless, it is a difficult task. Never lay a hog on his back to drench him. In so doing there "will be much danger of strangling to death. The proper method is to stand or set him on end, holding him up by the ears, and by the lise of a bottle with a piece of hose drawn over its neck, give the medicine very slowly, so as not to allow a large quantity to accumulate in the mouth or throat at one time. There is always danger of some of the liquids escaping into the lungs and causing them to strangle, or it may produce pneumonia, but this perhaps is the best method of giving hogs medicine by force.

Hogs will generally take the medicine in their feed or drinking water, unless they are very sick or the medicine is extremely disagreeable to the taste.

Blood Poisoning (Pyaemia Septicaemia)

CAUSE. Due to the toxic substance produced by germs that invade wounds, bruises, abscesses or womb following farrowing, if lascerated.

SYMPTOMS. The seat of injury becomes swollen, pus may adhere to the hair, temperature elevates, appetite poor, moves about very slowly, becomes separated from the rest of the drove, lies around in some cool, quiet place, eventually becomes very weak and poor and dies, if good attention is not given the animal.
