Recommended syringes?

[casperandbruno]

I don’t have sick pigs right now but I had a sick pig who wasn’t eating and I wasn’t equipped. I just would like to know what syringes you guys recommend and what pellets to feed to a sick pig and how to make poo soup.

1ml syringes are best and you can mush up their regular pellets. For poop soup, I think you just mush the healthy poo with some water and then syringe it

What pellets do you have? Also what do you use critical care pellets for?

Critical care isn't pellets - it's sachets of power with extra nutrients and vitamins in which you make up into a paste as needed.
Most vets will stock it but you can also buy it online from places like Viovet.

I feed Harrington’s pellets but like @Swissgreys has mentioned, critical care isn’t a pellet, it’s a recovery powder that you mix with warm water
