Correct. Baby Calpol is 0.2ml twice daily.
Practical tip: it is rather like syrup so it helps to put 0.2ml into a 1ml syringe and then draw water into the syringe until it is about three quarters full, put a finger over the open end of the syringe and then give the syringe a good shake, then give it to the pig. The watery nature makes it easier for the pig to swallow, less risk of it being spat out!
 
Wishing Tatty and you a good night and further recovery!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her!

Metacam can have different names, but they end in -cam.

Just to follow up on this, the active ingredient/drug in Metacam is meloxicam.
Rimadyl (carprofen) is a suitable alternative POM painkiller.

I am sorry that you have been having problems with Tatty but I am sure she will be fine. Probiotics and antibiotics will cause her poops to be softer than normal. I am pleased that Vicky has Pm'd you as I am sure she has given you some great advise. (((hugs))) to you and Tatty xx
 
Hi All I'm afraid Tatty took a very bad turn 4 the worse last night and we have had to have her put to sleep she was very unwell and i think it was the right thing to do even though I'm completely heart broken.Thankyou all for your help and advice that kept her going for as long as she did.One more angel in heaven tonight one of the bravest too!
 
I am so sorry for poor Tatty and you! How devastating!
 
It was awlful the only comfort we had was that she didnt go in pain and me and my hubby were both there with her
 
When they can leave carried by the wings of your love, that makes it a lot better. Especially as this is the way Tatty would have chosen, anyway!
 
I am so sorry for the loss of Tatty. That you and your OH were there will have been a huge comfort to her.

Rest well, dear Tatty. xx
 
Thankyou all for your kinds words Tatty leaves ahuge whole in my life but I'm comforted that today is a new day for her a happy pain free one and united with her sister once again (maccy) who passed away so suddenly in her sleep at 6months old with Tatty by her side.x
 
I'm new.

I'm new here and read this entire thread. I'm in tears.
